Lightning

These are my first ever lightning photos and I was very excited when I saw what I had captured. From my vantage point it only appeared that the lightning was flashing brilliantly and I didnt see any forked lightning. But the camera caught it! I had the shutter speed set for 15 secs and the apperture value at F8. Storm chasing & watching has been an interest of mine for quite some time and I always find a vantage point where I can watch storms do their stuff. There's something awesome about the energy & crazy shapes of lightning that I am always mesmerized by it. And I can hardly wait till the next storm arrives...
