Kaboom!

Thunderstorm in Houston last night

I always get weird looks when I run to the balcony with the tripod and camera. Tonight their was the first lightning storm… or I should say… first lightning since we moved in. I took about 20 timed shots altogether and only 4 or so were workable. This was the best one of the bunch.

Great shot and perfect position to capture it with the tall buildings in the background. Cheers, Bernz

Very nice shot, light trails are great too. Was it one long exposure or a comp?

That's awesome shooting. Love the crisp forks of the bolt. I can also see Fulbright Tower in the distance ... and now I am homesick .

Gorgeous!! This is my ultimate goal. I get those same weird looks from my neighbors and co-workers, you get used to it, lol!

Very nice, and the lightning behind the building is amazing!
