#7 is my favorite too. I've never tried lightning pics, so I'm really not sure how tough it is to capture.

You've got the right idea for shooting lightning, but...

1-3: You need some background/foreground for perspective.

3-6: Power lines don't make for good background

As far as your two sunsets (or sunrises ??), the same thing applies. As they are, #7 looks the best, but #8 would've looked much better if it had a good scenic background.

yea i kept trying to get a good background or foreground for it but it was hard cause they came out blurry for some reason but next time i get a storm ill try a tripod this time shirts dont hold to still thanks though that really helps

I am so confuse to find the wonder pictures. But All the photos are really very pretty and also adjective. I am only say that WOW. I hope that You will share some tips which should be useful for those who implement their photo graphy.
