1. Excellent...

I miss lightning - we hardly ever have it here in Anchorage.

2. Good One!

I've been out chasing thunderstorms a bunch of times since Spring without any luck. :(
(Well, I don't really chase them. I watch the radar, set up in a pre-selected spot, and wait for them to come to me.)

WOW
1/13s @ F/8
Your timing was spot on!

3. 1/1.6 actually

I'm a little floored myself. Just stood there with my finger on the trigger, flashy flashy, click. :)

6. In the "too unbelieveable not to be true" dept...

...I was just now cleaning off my card, and noticed I actually got another strike in the same ten-minute storm, without knowing it! :D
Exposure very funky, I must've still just been mucking around, as it was pretty much broad daylight. :shrug:

7. Whoaaa! Excellent!

5. Awesome!

I've tried to catch lightning so many times with no luck.

8. Nice job

You say you didn't use a tripod? That's make it even harder.

I got these last year by placing my camera on a tripod and using a cable shutter release. It was like shooting fireworks. It took a lot of shots just to get a few.

9. Nice work Ragin... and Robb

that is one tough mother to shoot. fireworks are child's play compared with it.

10. Those are spectaculicious!

I can't wait to shoot these suckers at night. :)

11. Just be sure to live to tell about it

[Robb]

12. I hear ya

...I took the above from inside my sun room. I think that's a darned good place to shoot lightning from. :D
