Storm - My First Lightning

It may not be in the same league as @flyrobin Robyn's, @888rachel Rachel's or @debilz Debbie's recent lightning shots but I don't give a rats. It is my first ever capture of lightning and I'm STOKED.
One thing I did learn is that to get a good lightning shot, the first thing you need is some good lightning. Duh!! It wasn't that good tonight. I took 95 shots to get just this one. But at least now I know what to do.
Unfortunately, only 6 drops of rain.

Great capture Poppo. I am waiting with bated breath for a lightening shot,but these storms are zooming past Mosesville north and south and heading your way. Fav :)

[Denise Wood]

Lightning is striking again
Lightning is striking again
And again and again and again!
Congratulations! You deserve to be stoked! It's on my hit list to try and capture lightning too, but as you say - 1st thing you need is lightning! That's something we don't get a lot of. Fav 95 times :)

[Babs]

Well done, I'd be pleased with this shot too. I have never got a decent shot of lightning mainly because we haven't got a good angle from our house without getting soaked. ha ha. Need to borrow somebody's veranda with a decent view. I've got to give this a fav.

[Tony]

Love it Terry !! Fav

[Denise (lyndemc)]

I'm totally impressed! I'd never guess this is a first attempt; looks like you've had it down to a science for awhile already. Congrats on achieving a fantastic capture.

[Milanie]

Way to go, Terry! This is such a big lightning strike - I am totally impressed!

[James_Nicholas]

Lovely lightning

[Poppo Livy]

@888rachel It's not fair is it Rachel?

[Rachel]

@terryliv Oh, it is fair. You got yours up first!

[Poppo Livy]

@888rachel No. I meant about your one from a couple of weeks ago.

[Rachel]

@terryliv I'm used to it! The TP and PP make no sense to me, and I'm good at maths! I can only think it goes 'few days on, one week off'.

[Angelieke]

Great capture!

[Shepherdman's Wife]

Well done Poppo. This is still on my bucket list, but we don't get many storms here so don't get much of a chance. Fav and follow

[Elaine]

Well done Terry, I would be Stoked too! I haven't taken a shot of lightening but would love to do so. Congrats.

[Tony Guest (snoopybooboo)]

Brilliant capture, if you persevere it happens. Fav.

[Wouter]

Great shot Poppo, I'd love to do some lightning, but as you say, you do need some decent lightning first... Not a whole lot of that happening over here. Keep it up!
