A Little Kiss Of Pink - a photo on Flickriver

            I guess I should thank the sunset for the pink(ish) bolt!

This storm blew in last night (26 July 23) as we were out to dinner in town.  It really dumped the water up in the Speedway/Wilmot part of town but nothing out at the house.  I was seeing little flashes off to the West on the drive home so I decided to grab the gear and head out once we got back.  This is one of the shots that I got.

The lightning was popping all around, not focused in any one spot at all.  The clouds were just one huge bank with no real definition to them so I wasn't really sure where to shoot, I just took a chance!  This was shot looking toward the Northwest which is the direction the storm seemed to be headed in.

Had to do a weird crop on this since the storm was pretty much just a big monocloud and I didn't want an acre of grey above the lightning.  This was shot with 35 seconds in BULB at f/9 with 29mm.  I zoomed a bit, hoping to get a little tighter shot but its a pretty futile exercise to be honest.  Mother Nature doesn't seem to care where your focus is!
