Lightning!

awesome shot !!! thumbs up !

not enough lightning in England to get something like that :(

Good lcuk with your application, :)
 
Awesome shot, love the detail in the foreground, would make a great photo by itself but with the lightning for a dramatic backdrop thats stunning.

with a 10sec exposure did you just keep shooting untill you were lucky enough to get a bolt on lightning in that 10 sec period? how many shots did you have to take if you don't mind my asking :)

I used a 300d and took 1 GIG of shots. This was the only one that looked amazing. I do have some others with lightning on them, but they aren't as spectacular. I think I took about 170 all together, but most of the last 30 were of nothing special, because the storm had died down and I was just filling the card for fun.

My camera didn't get wet, because my balcony is protected by the floor of my neighbours balcony above. I got a bit of rain on the lens when it got windy, but I wiped it off with a cloth each time that happened to keep the shots clear.

LOL - yer, my 'ShutterBug' sense tingles right before there is going to be an amazing shot, so I know when to press the button. :D
 
I've tried to photo in storms here (NY), but the wind speeds are so high usually, the rain is practically horizontal. :(
