Hi, this is my first time posting here, and my first attempt at photographing lightning.

Pictures were taken in St. Augustine, Florida

#1

#2

#3

> awsome pics man!

Hehe - good ones! Now keep practicing and pretty soon you'll be able to take a photo of an object with the lightning behind it, sort of speak Isn't it fun?

Amazing pics! I love the lightnings

ver nice... i live in naples florida and i never see lightning like that ~_~

be careful 1 hit will kill you

not necessarily like saying gettin hit by a car will kill you, one of my friends has been struck by lightning and lives to tell the tale
i think #2 is my fav of these

Thanks for the nice comments!



Haha yea i would have liked to get the lightning behind something, but i was under my brothers car port and my choices were the the trees you can see in the first photo or a bunch of houses :/ hopefully next time i can get a better angle.




Then I got lucky . I was just visiting my brother for a week and it only stormed one day.

Yeah - I'm having trouble too trying to get a decent lightning shot; it just comes by so fast it's hard to get the perfect spot without being at the right place at the right time.

nice pics!
