Thanks, I appreciate that! I also enjoyed your beach shots - the first one made me think of the 2 legged AT-ST walkers from Star Wars.

Here's another shot from later in the night, well after sunset. Lightning off the coast at Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

Wow!

All the bifurcations and the way it lights up the cavernous side of the cloud are just fantastic. This could be the best lightening shot I've ever seen.

Wall mural worthy! Fantastic lighting shot. One of the BEST I’ve ever seen.

Here's a shot I dug up from last year. Initially I felt it suffered too much from poor framing and distractions, but with my ever-improving ability with RawTherapee, I felt confident enough today to try and make something decent out of it.

I was out camping this weekend so I had minimal equipment with me, which means I didn't have my big and expensive Sigma Art 35/1.4. But the small DA35/2.4 is always there to save the day.
