    Amazing lightning! So cool that you got the skyline in the shot too! Whenever I follow lightning I usually end up losing the nice scenery like that.

    Thanks all.
    Most faves of all my posts!
    It was a fifteen second exposure
    I shot a few rolls so yeah, a bit scary but too good to pass up.
    Packed up just as the rain started to pour down.

    I love it. I can relate to hairs on my head standing on end. You must live relatively close to me. Check out pics I got the other day. I wonder if it was the same storm.
