Jindal gets fair warning to knock that shit off

Bobby Jindal better watch out:

(Via Reddit)

Hey reddit, I'm a photographer way down here in Louisiana and long time reddit reader. I was out shooting a poster for a movie when a lightning bolt struck right down the middle of our capitol building. Interestingly, this was the same day our governor signed off on dozens of controversial new bills. Coincidence? Yeah, probably.

Anyway, the high resolution image can be examined here:

It's one frame, 30 second exposure. The bolt struck about half a second after I tripped the shutter and it was a VERY LONG 29.5 second wait to see what turned out.

Very nice picture. Took a look at the rest of Teddy Smith's photostream. Thanks for posting.

Yes, that was quite the storm, if I'm remembering the same one.
