Very nice job my friend! Very nice! Maybe I can get a shot or two tonight since I'm off.

Great shot! I'm envious. I've been trying to get some lighting shots here in Michigan, but this summer is looking like a repeat of last summer; very few severe storms and few storms in general. The few storms that have occurred had most of their lightning in cloud. I'm developing a strong case of SDS here. This is the best capture I've had in the last three years; an anvil crawler that occurred in October of 2007.

Great shot Brandon!!

It's a nice shot. Especially because you caught it w/o it being dark/evening so that the surface details can easily be seen. And not so light that it washes out the light created by the bolt. It is also up close and personal; nice sense of depth.

Looks like it was windy as the foreground looks a little blurred, but a very nice first capture. Keep at it Bro.

Congratulations, Brandon! You are off to a great start!

That is a nice shot. You got the whole bolt from top to bottom, and a bit of the illumination from within the cloud. You had to be pretty close to get that I assume.
