Sometimes the timing works out

As we've been experiencing our share of thunderstorms in recent days, it seems like the storm rolls in at the wrong time.

Last night, the storm was rolling in between 11 and midnight, so the kids were down and Christy was turning in also, so I took the opportunity to get away for a few photographs.

I've learned a few thing since the last time I made an actual effort to get lightning shots.

Still, I got lucky to have this one streak across the sky and fill my frame.



I think I've got the basics of the technique. Now, I just need to scout better vantage points. Something with a more interesting foreground would be nice.
