A little about me...
This photo took a lot of time and patience, to time it just right. Achieved by using a long exposure time, with a flash to "freeze" the rattlesnake in frame, and then hoping lightning strikes during the exposure. Watching an approaching monsoon storm in the Sonoran Desert, I eventually struck gold and got just one photo with the snake and lightning in the same shot!
