Description
The Praying Monk is a rock formation on the side of the famous Camelback mountain that sits in between Phoenix and Scottsdale Arizona. From the first time I saw this I was always fascinated with it and thought It would make a great spiritual shot with lightning striking. This is a shot that I worked on for three years to get. This is the real deal. I can not tell you how many times I went to my spot on the top side of this mountain and got nothing. This night was one of my most scariest nights chasing lightning. This was the first shot that got a little blown out it was an extreme bolt of energy. Nothing like being on the top of a huge rock with a metal tripod trying to get a shot for three years. This storm circled the mountains and swung around the back side and came back around to me. This was a very exciting night of chasing lightning. After this, I took off and did the chase to north Scottsdale. This is the first one of the five images in this series. (C) 2011 James Insogna 1-888-682-0122

Amazing image, Bo! Thanks for your tenacity, for the lightning you show us is that which most of us will never see, let alone photograph...

Wow - Absolutely incredible. I can just imagine stting there in storms waiting for the perfect shot - all your efforts sure paid off. I never sat with emtal equipment like that but have been hiking in the canyons of the southwest during severe thunderstorms and it 's something you'll never forget! A favorite and a vote.
