I just recently got into taking photos. I wont say photography because I dont feel I deserve to say that. Ive always loved taking photos, but I finally went from a point and shoot style camera to a full size adjustable lens type camera. Late this afternoon we had a storm. I ran outside to take photos trying to catch a lightening shot. Its not that that easy considering you generally dont want to stick yourself out there where cloud to ground lightening is. The easy way would be to put it down on something and have the shutter stay open a period of time and if lightening strikes, you capture it. But, that works a lot better at night because leaving the shutter open will wash out your photos. I couldnt leave the camera on a ledge because it was raining too hard. So I had to stand on my porch and just try and shoot when I seen lightening. For 8 consecutive shots, I missed because it happens so fast because by time you push the button you missed it. Well, on the 9th try, I captured this. Not the greatest shot, but Im happy with it because I captured it. The sun was starting to come out at the same time too, so a rainbow was starting to develop at the same time. If anybody else loves taking pics, go ahead and post them. Here on this thread or anywhere.

Thanks, I have friends who are real photographers and being I work for a huge Electronics company, it was pretty easy to fall into. Plus, I always did like taking photos. Im just trying to learn at this point. I think my favorite photos are ones involving action and movement. Im still learning. I want to get good at it.
