About Finally, a decent lightning storm for the desert monsoon season last night. Nice rain, too.

Nothing hotter than lightning.

18 second exposure. Only 111 shots to get this and one other worthwhile exposure.

Thank you, Mahassa. I did begin outside until the rain began. Then I moved indoors and shot from my doorway. That is actually where this photo was taken. Not exactly the best "landscape" but my goal was the lightning. Hopefully the storms will continue throughout our "monsoon season" and I can go out to a location where I can include the landscape.

Best wishes,
Dave

Thank you, Biljana. I know how much pain you have and I really hope that Srna will be better. Meanwhile, we need to do something to brighten your day.

Best thoughts to you,
Dave

such a nice simple composition, and a very nice color,
by the way, didn't the rain begin to fall?
and were you shooting under the rain
all the time during this big big effort of
yours (111 shots)?!!
excellent shot,
best wishes, mahassa

Why thank you Ms. Carlsen. Nights are not only more fun... but they are much cooler... so yup, I'm enjoying the heck out of them.

As for marrying you, no, sorry, you let me down with the last award. Unless there's a big dowry involved... :)

Gracias, Alicia… para el momento en que tirara a esto, aunque, estaba parada en mi sala de estar con la cámara fotográfica hacia fuera una puerta abierta. Llovía demasiado difícilmente para estar hacia fuera. Vienes a New México y saldremos las fotografías del relámpago que tiran.
