We had a 15 minute intense Thunderstorm at 4:30AM the other night. I ran outside to try and photograph it. But the lightning was...intense and got very close, so when I started to feel static building around me and my hairs kept standing up on the back of my neck, I retreated to the car before I got any shots. Still, I was curious what the dawn would bring so I pulled an all nighter taking photos(mostly with my camera balanced on bushes, lawns, and a fire hydrant on top of my jacket LOL) well into the morning. This scene made it totally worth it.

Well, it's partially because I'm the kind of guy who tries to find a ghetto solution to a problem before a financial solution. But also there is great satisfaction when I get a good shot off a make-shift tripod combined with the bottom-of-the-line lens I shoot with(which is why I still haven't gotten my awesome lens repaired). Though I really should get a tripod because it would make my life a lot easier and I'm much more limited without one...and I need one for other ventures anyway.

Yea I still do that as well...mostly because I hate additional equipment, I like being a minimalist.
When you have a shot in mind though and you may not get it again, it's nice to have that to not worry about stability.
