  4. Wow! They are incredible Nicky! How quickly was the lightning striking? Could you time the intervals? Really great captures.

    1. Thanks, Kathleen. :)
      Umm, it struck about once a minute for a little while. I couldn't time intervals. I found a comfy seat on my back porch, leaned over with my elbow on my table, and waited. I was actually afraid my neighbors thought I was spying (with my zoom lens I could have watched their TV pretty easily.) I found I have very slow reaction time, so out of about 20 shots, I had these two great ones and one more decent one. I did have my camera on high speed continuous, so I held the shutter button down for a few shots- that HAS to be how I got these. :)
