High Voltage!

Took a little summer trip, to do some family stuff and other things as well.

Got an assortment of photos, most of which were not worth posting anything about.

But one night, we did have a pretty strong late night thunderstorm with lots of lightning.

I've never gotten many lightning photos, so though it was time to give it a try. I shot through a window from inside, and all my shots were handheld. But I picked out a couple I liked.
There were lots of lightning flashes, lighting up the clouds. This one captured a pretty good burst. No lightning bolts, but lots of light.
There it is! The best lightning bolt I got. And it was a nice dual fork shot. Almost symmetrical!

That's probably my best ever lightning bolt shot. I got a lot that night, but since I don't have a lightning trigger (that is something you can buy for a camera) and had to just keep shooting and hoping to catch one, its pretty random. I missed a few good ones, and had a ton of bad ones or plain black images to throw away. But glad I got at least one good shot.
