:excited:

:w00t:

I went out to Sheridan Lake again today (yeah, yeah, going back to the well ;)) and just as I got there a thunderstorm popped up from the west, so I just stayed in the vehicle and snapped a few hand held lightning pics. It was raining too much to set up the tripod that's why the trees are a little blurry ;)

I got 2 that are really good :giggle: and am going to post them both tonight 'cuz I can't wait :bounce:

18-55 lens, Circular Polarizer and ND 2 were used.

BTW~In my excitement to post these two shots, I posted this shot twice :blushes: (My bad!) I switched files on the other one and its the more dramatic of the two shots.

The amazing fact, as I feel, about this picture is that we can see the source and the target of the lighting... Awesome John... This is the first picture I saw today and it is such an inspiration for me for the rest of the day...
