Nature's Light Show

While monitoring some work late last night I decided to set my camera up on a tripod to see if I could
catch some of the lightning that was going on south of us. Most of it was sheet lightning with the
occasional fork, which I got lucky enough to catch. I think I might find a good vantage point for the
next storm to see if I can do better. This is cropped but the full frame actually got the movement of
the stars above us as well.

Nikon D70s
60s f/8.0 at 18.0mm iso320 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
