My first serious attempt to capture lightning, and I see I have a lot to learn. Please pardon the poor focus; neither the camera nor I can see well enough in the dark to focus properly. This was one of several storm cells that came our way after sundown this evening. And how much rain did we get? NOT... ONE... DROP. It all passed north of us or dried up before it got here.

I LOVE it!! Know why? It's because it's your first one and I know darn well how hard it is to get one! I am excited for you...and you really got a doozy.
Shane Kirk will pat you on the back I'll bet.
Good job!

Oh, Margo, you're so kind, but honestly, it's just a practice shot; I really have little idea what I'm doing. No way this can compare with Shane's work! My biggest problem right now is, as I said, not being able to focus properly. On automatic focus, the camera can't see and will simply refuse to take the picture; on manual, all I can do is run it out to infinity and back it off a little bit, but it's impossible to tell exactly how much, nor can I see the small display screen well enough to know how the focus looks. Not until I get it on my computer screen do I know how well I did. At least, with no rain, I wasn't battling the elements on top of all that, LOL! But thanks so much for your enthusiastic response!

Glad to see you experimenting with lightning, which most of the time really is an experiment! Pretty good results for your first try!

Thank you, Eileen; I appreciate your encouragement! Conditions were almost ideal, but this was the best I could do, so there's plenty of room for improvement.
