I wanted to try for photos of the meteor shower but the sky was a little cloudy. I got this instead!

I was hoping someone would see the face in the clouds. Usually when you point out an image in the clouds no one sees the same thing!

Tripod, mirror lockup, remote release, ISO 100, 50mm f1.4 @ f 6.2, bulb setting, 19 sec exposure, patience and blind a$$ luck.
When shooting lightning, it is mostly luck! I think I took more than 90 photos in a two hour time period. This was the only one I saved.
