Default Lightning Show

Haven't been on in awhile due to a move I'm going through. Here's a shot taken of the light show I was treated to here since arriving.

Great shot! I got my first lightning shots a couple of weeks ago. Yours came out fantastic. Love the light trails too.

Thanks all for the nice comments.

Seems every time I capture lightning the sky is purple. Not sure what it is about the light, but that's how it goes for me.

This is awesome! Can't wait for the next storm so I can try and capture some lightning, too!
