Some lightning - 03-08-2006, 10:34 PM


This is my first attemp at lightning with camera. This is just the beginning. I plan on going out again when the next wave comes through. This particular storm was over Famers Branch/ Addison when I was taking these shots. Stay tuned for more and better.

Since lightning is the subject of this thread, I know i posted these earlier this year, but why not one more time since lightning is cool.
