Re: Midnight Special - Lightning
These are just gorgeous shots. You really can't see all of their beauty unless you view them large. Love how the lightning goes through the clouds. You captured excellent details on these, Wayne.

Re: Midnight Special - Lightning
Great shots!
Almost makes me wish we had more lightning in our area. Our house has been hit once so I think we've had enough.
Thanks for the shot data too.

Re: Midnight Special - Lightning
Thanks Alan, the setting change as the storm gets closer and consequently brighter. This one was about 15-20 km's away.

As I mentioned earlier in my post.....one must have great respect for the power of nature. Caution is the key word.
