Lightning

We had an amazing lightning storm one night. Not much rain to speak of, but there was lightning for hours. The sky was lit up more than it was dark and I was walking around my house in the middle of the night without any lights on. Here are a few shots. I was a little scared to unlock my door and go outside and besides needed something to steady my camera on as I was shooting these with a shutter speed of 3 seconds, hence the screen.



Bright as day! This one looks like it struck the ground.

We haven't had a good thunder storm in awhile. That's okay, though. I like the lights but the noise is a little too much! I like your pictures. Three seconds is a ling time to hold a camera still. I'm loving all the pictures. They are very good!
