victorian thunderstorm

I shot this photo during a thunderstorm in April. This is the first time I've successfully captured a lightning bolt on film! I sat on my front porch for roughly forty minutes, snapping the shutter whenever I saw light in the sky. At the end of the evening, I had snapped about fifty pictures. At no time, however, did I think I had anything good. It wasn't until the next morning, when I downloaded the pictures, did I realize I actually had something halfway decent! This was shot at 1/2 second.
