I like the first - great shot. I've not photographed lightning - so well done.

Nice work. Those are great shots. I really like the moody darkness of the first one.

Great shots, love them all. It hasn't been a good year for lightening, we usually have the wildest of electrical storms out here but this year (just because I was waiting and wanting to photograph it) there has been next to none. Can't believe it really, I have never been through a storm season without electrical storms.
