Lightning in Spokane 2009

Here's some lightning I shot early in the morning August 21st, 2009. Converted to b&w.

It's not bad. For a better comp you could shoot lower to the ground getting the entire front porch

I tried that originally but there were 3 factors getting in the way. First, I had the view to the lightning strikes over the roof. Secondly, the device I rigged up to keep the camera and lens dry was getting in the way at the angle mostly because of the wind driving in the rain. And finally, the porch had a bunch of crap on it since the people were moving and it interfered in the ambiance. I did have the same thought though when I was walking up on the scene.
