went out Saturday during the first lightning storm we've had in months and took some pictures. The conditions were perfect, lightning in every direction going off at least every 3-5 seconds, and very little rain. i only had to wipe my lens once. here is the outcome, its a composite of the two best moments. Each picture was a 4-6 second exposure, taken on my 10D with 28-135. post processing was limited to lightroom RAW adjustment, compositing the two images, and burning/spot de-saturating a few of the less important pieces of the image. Let me know what you think!
