Lightning!

ISO: 1600  f/18.0  shutter speed: 20 seconds

I took these pictures two nights ago during the storm.  I've always wanted to get a picture of lightning so I finally decided to go try. The timing was the hardest part. It would have been helpful to have a meteorologist with me to tell me when and where it was going to lightning. It took me a little while to adjust my settings, because at first I started with a lot lower ISO and when the lightning strike wasnt showing up really well I figured that my ISO needed to be higher so you could see the strike and I just changed my aperture to get a better exposure. I had fun taking these pictures, and had to go inside inside because I was being eaten alive by mosquitos and I had a bunch of homework left to do :/ but next time it storms, I want to go try again and hopefully get some better ones.
