They're leaving the mankato area it looks like. Figured it was time to run out and try some lighting shots. I compressed it a lot in PS, but you get the idea...

awsome pic

i personally would run and hide under a rock during a storm like that

wow i tried hard to do that once...couldnt even get close...

i saw that bolt!!!

Nice pic...

Awesome shot Jason, and special lens to do that? Or just alot of luck...

It was my digital camera. It'* kinda a wannabe SLR, it has a 10x zoom lens, but it'* not detatchable.

For the digital i put it to continous shot mode. I can either hold the shutter up to 5 shots, or hold it down till i let go, at which point it saves up to the last 5 taken. I would put it shutter priority or night mode, and balanced it on the rail on my balcony and put a finger or two under it to point up. No tripod here at the apt, had to improvise. I would do it different with my flim SLR, but that'* another thread.

You can keep it!
Nice pic though.

Lightning is awesome.......

We need more pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

those storm hit us this morning and wow talk about alot of needed rain but my road is flooded i cant get to my car and their was alot of lighting and thunder.

Great pic Jason, good work
