Photograph taken in the early evening (May 7th/06) around 6:30pm. It was quite a storm! Was lucky enough to catch this bit of lightning, quite by chance! Taken with HP945 digital camera and framed in PhotoFiltre.
Wow...you captured lightening a number of times! Good for you!..Very cool!
Artist Reply: I can assure you, always quite by chance... I try to count it out , the seconds after the booms of thunder. It let's you know when you'll see the lightening... most times ;o)
Les I'm fascinated and terrified of lightning in equal parts so think this photo is just terrific!!!
Artist Reply: Thank you Marjorie ?? I agree it is terrifying and fascinating at the same time. One of those things that one never wants to ever experience up close.
Oh, I'm sorry, dear Les! I missed this one. It looks familiar to me; really, this is the ambience when my mother-in-law comes to visit us LOL! LOL! and LOL! :-)))))
Two great captures of the storm,the bottom is so dramatic and beautiful with the sky like that!!!
Great creative photography, Leslie!!! With Hugs and Love&prayers Dee&David:):)
