You certainly did, Cap'n Midnight Dave! You're welcome!:)

Dave Arnold {K:55680} 8/25/2007

Thanks, Bernar. I would rather have shot a longer exposure but it was just too bright. If I could've gotten a 30 second length, it would have resulted in several strikes. But oh well, I am really please with what I did get. 110 strikes in all.

Best wishes,
Dave

Thanks, Shirley. It was a goal of mine to shoot a scene like this.... I've seen other cityscapes with great lightning and have wanted to do this for some time. I picked the right day to go shopping in ABQ.

Thank you very much, Brigitte.

Best,

Thank you Robert. Not to sound smug but luck doesn't work with lightning. It is technique. It takes a LOT of shots. I shot over 500 photos on this shoot and walked away with about 110 lightning strikes.

I think the luck comes in when you can walk away without being struck. :)

Best wishes,
Dave

Gracias, Alicia. Creerme, yo era o asustado éste. Tanto se encendía por todas partes, incluyendo sobre mí.
