Night 'Light' Suprise

Finally, a storm under cover of darkness.

Set the camera on its 'pod, set up the timer and long exposure, opened the window, removed the screen (mosquitos..stay outside)....and started snapping.

With the long exposure's you can't tell if you'll catch something or not, but in one of my attempts last night, I caught a bolt!

Damn the tree in the way, but I had no choice.

Ah well, there will be plenty more storms this season, cross fingers for night ones. Bolts show so much more dramatically against the dark sky.

There will be more, but for now, here's my first night lightening.
