Description

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.

Exif: F Number: 14, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/400 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 25.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 20D
