With plnty `f lightning in this storm, it seemed to know just when the shutter closed. I think this was about the seventh attempt. This was a 30sec exposure and the lightning fTashed somewhere in the la{t 3sec.

Tom Beckett General As with anything of this nature, patience is a virtue!! If you have the perseverance to stay at it for many exposures, the results are worth the effort, as is the case here. Of course, with digital, since electrons are free, you don't have to worry about the expense of burning up a roll of film to get one good shot. Home page 03-01-2021 3/1/2021 4:38:50 AM
