Watching Lightning

On an evening drive, Daniel and I noticed lightning
on the other side of the broadwater.
As I was unprepared and inexperienced,
I was literally "shooting in the dark".
As I had my finger on the shutter,
a lady rode passed on a pushbike resulting in the ghostly stream behind Daniel.

Nikon D600
6.2s f/4.5 at 70.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Thanks for your kind comments, Sally and Terry.
A pleasant surprise when I saw the result.

A great capture of Daniel and the ghostly
image adds mystery. Well done Elaine.

Definitely added that mysterious quality. Very nice 'accident,' Elaine.

Thanks, Cindy. I was a wee bit annoyed when I realised she went in front of me, then pleasantly surprised
When I saw the results.

Thanks, Michael, I almost called it "A Happy accident".
