I have been trying F O R E V E R to get ANY shots of lightning!! i love it! i love thunderstorms! Last night a storm rolled in from the bay, and i felt the need to try again. This time i actually got something. Of course i was not content to try and get this from the window....or the porch of the beach house....i was in the street......leaning on metal! i did not think about that at the time....i was too fascinated with trying to capture anything other than a black sky and the house lights across the road!!
if you look REALLY close in the comment shots there are little lightning bolts there!!! i was super excited about that....i never ever EVER get those...i just wish there were more of them, but it was a flashing kind mostly behind the clouds. I can't wait to try this again....perhaps minus leaning on a metal vehicle!!!
oh...and i was pretty impressed with the high ISO on these too!! (yes...these were hand held, mainly because i was too excited at the prospect of shooting lightning...sorry Jeff, maybe next time!!)
