Actually I got two cool pics of lightning last night.

We had a "monsoon" roll through last night and there was lots of lightning so I grabbed the camera and tripod and sat out on the front porch.

The two bolts in this pic below were actually shot a few minutes apart but since the camera was on a tripod and the framing didnt change, I just composited the two images into one (in photoshop) for a little more drama.

Exposure time was 15 seconds, aperature was f2.8 for anybody that's wondering.
