Lightening strikes twice  by kdrinkie

Lightening strikes twice

We had a brief but fierce summer storm blow through this afternoon so of course I grabbed my Nikon and kept the shutter button pressed. Out of almost 500 shots I actually had 2 that caught a strike! These are both SOOC but cropped for the collage.
Great job, this is amazing.

@mickunz thanks, I've always wanted to try and it took a lot of patience.

Excellent! I really like the one on the right...awesome!

Really great captures. 500 shots is worth it!

Wow, Kim! This is awesome!

That is amazing. I've never been fast enough to catch a lightning strike and you managed to get two great ones out of just one storm.

@5unflow3r thanks, the one on the right was better I think because I didnt get the cloud at the top, just bolt all the way to the ground.

@mimigd @orangecrush @vernabeth thanks so much, I was kind of surprised when I looked at them on the laptop as I didnt have time to check while I was shooting and the storm moved quite quickly so I had to really guess where the next strike would be.

Great shots!!!! I have yet to get a shot of lightning. After seeing these I will keep trying everytime there is a storm. Did you use a tripod?
