Default Storm Watchers

This shots is a couple weeks old, but I thought I'd share it. And yes we had a thunder storm in June in California. Weird I know. But, great for photos.

No flash, just street lamps, a long exposure, and really still subjects.

Great shot, the light is perfectly illuminating the people and it does almost look like you used a flash

Thanks guys. I had to take alot of shots to get this one. Lightening doesn't strike when you want it to.

I have thought about cropping, but I liked the street light too much. I thought it added to the photo. But I see what your saying too.

THAT is a great image! And in CA to boot. My wife and I lived in the bay area for three years. I think we heard thunder once, maybe twice. Well done!
