Very nice. With Summer just around the corner I hope to fly my kite and attract some lightning like these. :judge:

Really like these. Lightening is an act of nature and so hard to get a good composition with. I really like #2.

Great work Dori, Alex will be jealous these look better than his, wonder if it is possible to hold the lens open for a while to get several strikes maybe make it more dramatic, hope you will try it, we dont get decent lightning in the UK.

Thanks much! I appreciate it!

I am fortunate, the Tampa Bay and Central Florida area is the so-called 'Lightning Capitol of the US'. :)

I am going to try that this year, I have a remote trigger now!

I was looking for the thread earlier... guess I didn't go far enough. You and Alex inspired my recent lightning shoot. :judge:
