Shooting Lightning Photos During A Haboob - Carlsbad, NM 7-21-2022.

Image
Shot From C-Hill In Carlsbad, New Mexico. Another blistering hot day in SE NM today. I recorded a high temp here at our home in Carlsbad on my Davis Vantage Pro Plus Wireless Personal Weather Station of 103Āŗ. The Carlsbad ASOS reported 102Āŗ.  Just before sunset a nice energetic thunderstorm blew up northeast of Carlsbad and started heading southwest. It missed us here in town but dropped nickel to quarter size hail along with strong winds in Loving 12 miles southeast of us.  Off I go to C-Hill on the west side of town to try and get some lightning shots. This has not been my year for lightning shots. I bought a MIOPS Smart Lightning Trigger for my Nikon D5600. We aren't getting along. I can't get the stupid thing to fire most of the time so back to the drawing board for my research.  Tonight's issues were interesting to say the least. This thunderstorm quickly became severe as it rolled through Loving. Along with the hail and half of an inch of rain it dumped on them it a...
