This black crowned night heron was a beauty. It's a rainy night tonight with lots of lightening so I've been processing some of the many bird shots from the past several weeks. I wish I knew how to capture lighting strikes across the high rise buildings -- it's really dramatic!
Update -- I decided to try for a lightning capture. It took about a half hour and one out of all the shots I took worked, but I'm very excited about it! https://365project.org/taffy/365/2022-05-21
Great capture! Don’t you put the camera on Bulb setting and leave the shutter open to catch the lightening? Mind you I have never tried it! 🤪🤪🤪

@pamknowler Yes, that's how to do it, but I didn't think I stood a chance since there is so much ambient lighting that I can't use bulb -- only a second or two even at very low ISO. I stood at the window, though, and held the camera against it to steady it and just took a whole bunch of shots everytime the sky lit up. AND, I got ONE shot!!! Just processed and posted it, but now have to get some sleep! https://365project.org/taffy/365/2022-05-21
