Lightning Strike 1

My first attempt at lightning. I missed the shot I was going for (hit the flag - actually a TV tower directly behind the flag) when my battery went dead and I had to go back to the house (below that tower) as we pulled up to the house, BAM.
Returned to try it again, when I had just finished adjusting the tripod and BAM. Had my hand on the release but had not yet pressed the button. DAMN!!

Very well done, Brad. I was actually there today! We drove through the narrow tunnel on our way to the Riverview Park and Zoo.

Hehe, I've heard that lightning and tripods don't mix :) (at least that's MY excuse!)
