Default Lightning
These shots were taken during a thunderstorm we had last night. I am still new to my camera (only a week) and getting used to setting up the shot. However, I was very pleased with how these turned out. I did darken the images in Paint Shop to better "dramatize" the storm and make the lightning stike stand out better. Hope you like them too!
