The lightning hit so close that the house and the place around got nicely lit. It was a thrilling Unfortunately I used a very crappy tripod which was meant for the trash bin. Despites having a new sturdy tripod, I still use the old one as a back up light stand.
I'm waiting for another night full of thunder and lightning. Perhaps it will happen again this summer.

Very good catch, a bit dangerous though, ain't it?. Your pictures don't show up on shutterchance "all photoblogs" page, I wonder whether this happens only on my computer.
LightningPaul: This one was indeed pretty scary and loud because the thunder and lightning were almost simultaneously. Last night at 2h00 we had another thunderstorm, so as soon I got awake I started shooting again. Unfortunately I didn't capture anything really worthwhile. Right now there is a new one coming. We'll see...
Regarding the "all photoblogs" page, where is it exactly? I don't see any link on www.shutterchance.com. Perhaps I'm missing something?

LightningPaul: BOTH ;-)
I was always fascinated by lightning and electricity as a kid. I had some other nick names but they were all taken. "Lightningpaul" did not yet exist in the context of photography.
