First attempt at lightning shots.

Took a few pics from my window last night trying to take some pictures of lightning.

Here are the only ones I could capture,

WOw, I really like the second shot you have here. It really goes nice with the transformer/lines (or whatever they are called). Nice capture.

I agree with Jay... I really like the second one... really good composition.

Thanks.

the only thing that bothers me is that you can see the window screen pattern.

#2 is a winner! Nice!

Interesting captures, I imagine that this is a hit and miss proposition and that it requires a lot of patience. #2 for me as well.

I took about 80-90 pictures waiting for lightning to strike in the field of view of the camera (I was using my 50mm).
I sat at the window for about an hour just pressing the shutter button.

I really like the second shot as well. The lightning and power lines fit perfectly together.

They are good shots. It so hard to capture. I've tried this before, didn't get any at all.

I Agree, #2 is excellent.

Love #2. The bright light draws my eyes away from the bolts in 1,3 and 4, but in the end I keep going back to 2. Very well done!

with a remote shutter release, you can leave the shutter open all night and capture all sorts of lightning!
