Pictures from big storm in TN!

Decided to try my luck with shooting lightning. These are the only ones that came out of 350 pictures I took.

It was hard as hell.

Nice shots!

You were in the middle of the trees during the storm. Glad you didn't get a close up pic as it lit your butt on fire.

I was shooting in "M" mode, then took pictures as fast as my finger could move. Finally figured out how to shoot the "rapid" stuff last night.

Last night I detailed my car and I went out to go take some night pictures. Well my camara was dead so I used a friends camara. The last pictures I took al of a sudden a bolt of lightning came down. It looked awsome. I tried to save it but the memory was full so I wasted a one an a million shot. I was soo mad.

Those are 2 great pictures, i say it was worth taking 350 times to get them. I love the 2nd one, how it looks like the lightning is running through the trees.
