There was a pretty cool lightning storm the other day. I missed most of the really great lightnings, but I did manage to catch a few good ones.

Thanks Patrick for the heads up.

I think it turned out all right. It was the strangest thing, all this lightning and no thunder. 8 second shutter.

Likely a Photinus species.

Supreme competition is about to begin...

I've tried for quite a while to shoot lightning. This one took about 600 exposures, as daylight forced me to use 1/4 sec shutter speed.

It is actually quite difficult to randomly catch a bolt of lightning with a point & shoot digital camera. But, alas, I do not yet have a dSLR camera which might have made it easier...

I could've set up my tripod, but that is probably not the smartest thing to do in a lightning storm. So, this slightly blurry photo is the best I could do.

It's dinner time. But dinner can wait. Go ahead with your dinner, will you. 'Coz I've got lightning to catch

It was really odd lightning...not much cloud to ground, mostly cloud to cloud. A lot of it was in the clouds, and you just can't get a good picture of it. These were really interesting, we saw a lot of lightning crawling along the base of the clouds.

Lightnings in Paris

Waiting for lightning to strike. It takes patience, i realized.

meh. I missed all the good stuff. still doesn't compare to the lightning I got in the shot below, even though the framing sucks and it was shot handheld.
