I just got back from Arches NP yesterday and captured some great lightning shots. I was hiking back from Double-O Arch when I saw lightning off in the distance. I set up my stuff and started shooting. It was amazeing how fast the storm was moving. Before I realized how close it was, I was concentrating on taking shots, I saw a bright flash and immediately heard the crack of thunder. Time to tear down and find shelter, which was a small cave near by. I spent the next 45 minutes pushed into the small opening as the storm passed overhead. After the storm was over and I got back to the trail there were more than a few pail-faced folks running back to the trail head.
