 My first lightning picture(s).
We were on a hill overlooking the city to watch (and photograph) the New Year's firweorks, but nature put on a much more spectacular display.

The sky is such a lovely color! The lightning and lighting is so ominous. I'm glad you were finally able to figure out how to post photos--I had the exact same issues. I'm curious to see what else you post now that you have it all figured out!

Your photography far outshines your forum posting skills!! ;)

Such a beautiful lightshow here. I love the orange haze in the sky and the brightest part of the lightning is well exposed!

Nice. I never seem to be in the right place to get a decent shot of lightning.
