Default When Lightning Strikes .....
I've waited for nearly a year to get these shots because last time I took them on my film slr, they came out blank, because the film was not exposed at all, because my shutter had been damaged. So these ones make it very special to me ! Moderators, please go easy on me, I'm posting one photo extra than the forum rules actually allow....

Amazing! I would love to take some photos like that! That's too bad about the shutter on your other camera.

Thank you so much. I put the camera onto Bulb mode, opened the shutter and waited patiently for the lightning to strike and afer it did, closed the shutter down!

These are seriously great shots Vik. I would just love to capture lightning. We don't see much where I live and none since I got my camera. I take my hat off to you. Great work. I am so jealous.
