Why Lightning in Texas is so Dangerous !!!

[texpic]

This is why lightning is so dangerous. Notice all of the strikes are in the distance. Actually a lot further than it looks in these pictures. Look at slide #0004. That tree was pretty close to the camera and tripod (I’m inside using a remote to trigger the camera).

i could see a few flashes way off in the distance,but nothing to capture. maybe tonight.

Great shots. Shame on you for leaving your poor camera outside to fend for itself ;)

Very nice lightning shots. It's been years (well over a decade actually) since I've got a decent lightning shot. Hopefully there'll be a storm this Spring that coincides with some free time.
