Seeking a strike

With the glow of lightning, originally uploaded by Zesmerelda.

I've watched a few storms this summer from my back porch and have yet to capture a good shot of lightning. However, I think trying has improved my low-light photography. A little.

This is my favorite of the almost 500 shots I took last night. There's more on my Flickr stream, if you're interested.

BTW, I didn't lose electricity, but my cable went out about 9pm. If you're trying to get a hold of me via the pipes, it will be touch and go until Comcast gets things sorted out.
