Anyone one for a little lightening?

April 6th, 2011
I decided to try to photograph lightening on the spur of the moment. I didn't really know what I was doing & only got off 10 shots before my battery died. Of those 10 I got 2 that were usable. The were both SOOC (with the exception of the watermark of course).
I couldn't decide which one I liked best but chose to put the 1st capture in my default & the 2nd capture in my extra album.
My Hubby preferred the 1st shot which is this one:
And this is the 2nd one:

anyone else have any lightening? I want to try it more. I think I could do so much better.

@mikichelle Haha...looks the same (edit: you fixed it). We don't get lighting here often. So no pics from me.

If the second one is suppose to be the red one you posted, I think I like the first as well.

Very nice! That's great for a quick spur of the moment type shot. I got my first ever lightning shot just a few weeks ago and I'm totally hooked!

@jeancarl Yeah as soon as I hit save I saw what I did LOL. The second is more red & the lightening doesn't go as far down in the pic.
@marubozo WOW! Absolutely love this! Can't wait to try again i too am hooked!

Sooo, you haven't done any lightening OR darkening with these, then...? ;)

I love lightening shots - we haven't had a good storm forever - just waiting for my moment!!!

I caught this one by chance. I was just aiming for a nice night shot!

@smithss_27106 That's an amazing shot with or without the lightning!

I've only ever captured lightning once - this is it...
