As I mentioned in the previous post, nature put on quite a show this past Saturday right before the fireworks. I’ve seen lots of photos of lightnings online but never had the experience of sitting through and viewing one. Here are some of the more spectacular strikes of the night! Lightbox enabled.

    silmeria: 不需要什麼特別的設備,只需要一台照相機可以拍長久曝光,一個腳架,一點耐性就行 :-) 什麼鏡頭都可以, wide is generally better.

    aw: I believe those cloud to cloud lightning is called sheet lightning! Good looking yet not dangerous to people on the ground :-P
