Seems like most of the good stuff has past us by here in Arlington/Mansfield.. Of course, I guess there could be another wave later.. I like lightning shots too. I usually shoot them from my garage as it faces west... I am not into these shots enough to get soaked by them though. LOL

You must be about a half mile from me.

I am South of Sublett between Bowen and Cooper (Fannin Farm).

WHOA!!! NICE!!!! I really like that one andrew. I need to get som crap out of my garage so I can sit in the garage when it storms like tonight and get some shots. The front of my house faces to the East. The back to the west, but there isnt any cover on the back of my house =( Hopefully that will change before too long since we are about to get a spa and Im sure hubby will want SOMETHING to cover the hot tub other then a hot tub cover! hehe

Daylon,

I didn't mean to hijack your thread. I really like your shot a LOT! Love the colors. You should get a metallic print done of it. It would really POP!
