Lucky Strike
Uploaded: April 22, 2008
f11.0, ISO 400, 1/500, 58 mm Sunset Gradient Filter, My front yard, Matthews, NC.
I was messing around with my sunset filter yesterday as the storm was coming in. I wanted to see what the clouds would look like with it.
This was the last shot I took just as it started thundering. I didn't know I had caught the lightning strike until I got inside & uploaded it on my computer.
