There was a completely unexpected (by me) thunderstorm in Santa Barbara tonight. I was just about falling asleep when I saw a bright flash through my closed bedroom blinds. I got up to check it out, and had to get my camera out. I’ve never really tried shooting lightning before, so it was a learning experience. I don’t expect I’ll get the chance again anytime soon. I really want to do more work on this image, and a few others I got, but I’m too tired. I wanted to get something up now, though, so here it is.

Nice 🙂 It took me 3 storms this summer to get a decent shot of lightning! I like the silhouette framing.
