Default Real Magic Happens at Night: Playing With Lightnin

I noticed a lightning storm a couple of days ago so I grabbed my camera and waited patiently... Settings may vary slightly but I got the best results with:

Canon XTi
Manual
f/7.1
Exp: .8
ISO:1600
Focal Length 55mm

IMG_2629

IMG_2632

Check out the full set here Flickr: Camnit-Man's Photostream
