so we've been having a lot of heat lightning storms the last few nights and they are usually quite spectacular. so i braved the buzzing, biting, blood sucking insects and snapped a few off...
disclaimer: i am not a pro photographer and i was using a crappy digi cam - they are what they are.

Those pic's are Awesome!!
Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.' ----Harvey Mackay

but rather, to slide in broadside, thouroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming 'wow, what a ride!!' "

Excellent pics, good timing on the picture taking too. I have tried a few times to take pics of lightening and always take it too late.

yeah the first few times i wasn't catching anything in the frame... but then i started to use the multiple picture feature on my camera... i press the button once and it takes continuous pictures until i release... Originally Posted by slvrbullit331

out of about 60 shots, the above images were the only ones worth posting...
more practice should net better results.

On some of the regular film cameras you can click the picture and as long as the button is depressed the shutter is open. You can can't several lightning shots during several minutes. My pops did it once with the moon in the picture and over twenty minutes you can see it streaming through the picture... very cool. The multi shutter effect on the digitals are cool especially if you want to animate something putting several of the images together as a gif.
