Journal 16

A couple nights ago there was a thunder and lighting storm. I was standing in my doorway just watching the lighting strike, and listening to the thunder. I wish I had gotten my camera out and took pictures of the lightning. I would have used bulb mode, and would have held down the shutter release until I saw lightning strike. In my backyard there are 2 big trees, and I would have framed it so that one of the trees was in full frame, and the other was half out of frame and the lighting was kind of in the middle. The lighting had been striking in the same general spot. I would have used this picture in color, because I think that the color of the lighting would be cool, and the sky would probably look cool too. The next time we have a lightning storm I am definitely going to experiment shooting with it.
