"Summer Storm"

Just not very good at getting lightning shots. I'm too much of a coward to be standing too close to a storm.

Neat lightning shot Helene, I love the atmosphere and color.

Playing around with night sky shots. This was a 4 minute exposure. I couldn't stand any longer because of the mosquitoes!

Helene, did you shoot your lightning shot during the day light hours? Daylight lightning is very hard to get, either way great shot.

Thanks. Rick and Marcel.

Rick, yep, it was late afternoon and not many bolts clearing the clouds. Lots of bolts going crossways. When I would point the camera in one direction, the bolts were in another place. It apparently takes a lot of patience. My hat off to you for all of your spectacular lightning shots!

awesome shots, Helene! The lightning shot is very neat, the clouds looks really cool.
I like the movement in the stars in the night time shot, too.

I love your "fly by's" and sense of humor, Don!

Those were STARS????? I thought that was a swarm of mosquitoes.
Congrats on the lightning Helene... I don't have the nerve to try shots like that. I like the way you can see the rain moving in from the left.

LOL, Mike. They were out of view of the camera . . . buzzing around my head!

Playing around? I can't do as good if I were trying.

I love the colors in your horses' playground, nice job. The city lights shot is cool, I think its neat that some parts of the country are so flat that you can just stand on a hill and see all of that.

Thanks, Mike and Jen!

Old Garden Rose . . . a surprise tucked in among the brambles. Thought I'd get my macro out, since I've been neglecting him lately.

Oh my goodness. You've been neglecting HIM? Does HE have a name?

It's starting to sound like we all should start genderizing and naming our lenses. I think I'll call my Macro lens Bertha.

Beautiful shot Helene. We need an automatic "Like" option for all of your work!

And why not? You boys genderize and name cars, ships and planes. And yes, my cameras all have names Ha-ha!

Thank you for the nice comment, Rick
