    “THE LIGHTNING MAN” RIDES BOULDER COUNTY STORMS

    Photographer sets up shop in electrical heat of recent rainstorms

    Call him crazy, he does what he loves:  chasing lightning at night with a camera.  While some Boulder County locals may gripe about the unusually wet and scary weather we’ve been having, James “Bo” Insogna races out into the middle of it.  Insogna, a twenty-year veteran of lightning photography in the Arizona desert, has recently taken on the challenge of capturing Boulder County storms from his home base in Longmont.

    “Colorado lightning shoots are proving to be harder and more challenging than my shots in Arizona,” Insogna says.  “There, the warm climate monsoon storms came in at sunset and hung around till 2:00 a.m. when I was lucky.  But in Colorado, the storms come in fast and leave the same way.  I have to move fast and get to a location quickly.”

    A severe storm in mid-June had Insogna at the edge of McIntosh Lake in northwest Longmont at 2:00 a.m.  “An amazing storm,” Insogna said, “very intense.”  In 45 minutes he’d shot well over 100 frames to get three or four good images for what he considers a very successful night.  The closer he gets to water, mountain peaks, or unusual land features, the better.  He keeps a list of local features he’d like to photograph under the brilliance of local lightning.  Open space and reservoirs are listed, as well as Front Range peaks that are the backdrop to daily life in Boulder County.  And getting just the right shots can take some time.

    “I have settings where I’ve worked for a few years to get Mother Nature to be in the right place at the right time,” Insogna says.  Particularly with his work in the desert.  But lately, Insogna has begun experimenting with combining some images for artistic effect.  ”It’s a neat way to add to the drama of landscape, and lighting.”

    Insogna’s workday persona is as a portrait and nature photographer through his home-studio business, www.Striking-Photography.com .  “People and animals are always fascinating in their variety,” Insogna says.  “And lightning?  Well, it’s just got this magnetism that keeps pulling me out of the house.”

    Lightning at Horseworld.



    This project took two years to get this lightning photography image with the  bronze horses.   The first time I saw this incredible horse sculpture by Snell Johnson in front of…  back then called “Horseman’s Park” in North Scottsdale Arizona, I envisioned it with lightning hitting behind it.  This to me would make it come alive.

    The thunder cracks and the lightning hits, making the Arabian horse rear and the Quarter horse and Thoroughbred dart off in different directions.  For two years I waited for this to happen.  This is the real deal no photoshop magic here, back then I didn’t even have photoshop. Only a good old darkroom. The originals were shot on film.

    On this night I was out making the rounds and saw that a storm was heading in that direction. It was very late at night about 1:00 am.  The photo set up was in the middle of Pima Road,  there were no cars around. This was years before the 101 was even built.  Using a 50mm lens I  shot this incredible lightning photo image in black and white as well as color.

    This was a very very uncomfortable and dangerous photo shoot. Lightning was hitting paces away. I’m in the middle of the road with a medal tripod and a stream of water is beginning to run at my feet getting me wet and also making me a conductor.  Working fast to say the least I got the shot and go the HELL out of dodge.  For me, it has always been about making lightning images a little different and as art.   It is my hope that you see that in the lightning images.
