"Finally Lightning"
|
Well.. today was a good day for me.
Everything was working out well from the morning and into the afternoon. I was out fishing
for the majority of the day at a small lake north of the city to just do nothing all day
:) I had caught several small pike with the biggest being this 1 and 1/6 foot 1 or 2 year old Northern Pike. Anyway with all this I was to busy to be interested in the weather for the day and figured nothing much was on the way and guess what.... I was wrong. |

Shortly after I left the lake around 8:30 I
noticed some TCU going up but they were heavily clouded over with stratus and cirrus
clouds. I noticed the first bit of lightning when I was nearing my house. I later than set up the tripod and caught some of the very first flashes out of the storm. |

This was a good pic but the rain made it appear more sheetish than anything else so I corrected the gamma. |

Eventually the flashes were over my head but.. the rain just messed everything up spreading the light like a blanket. To bad.. so I had to call it a night. |

Just had to give everyone another look at this pike |
