nicely timed shot, I appreciate how *** difficult it is to get good lightning shots.

either you have a lot of patience or were very lucky

nice exposure, just about right, not too bright or dark.

that's quite a coencidence that you were looking at my picture because earlier i was looking at your picture with the rings from the playground. I like it because i tried taking a picture of them a year or so ago and it didn't turn out that well. I like yours much better.
I was both lucky and patient with the lightning picture though. Lucky that I got a couple decent shots and patient by staying out there and shooting a couple rolls of film, and it was worth it.

hmm. you tried taking a picture of the *same* playground? well, it was just one of those snap
decisions, looking around for *something* to take as I was freezing at the time.

We dont get many thunderstorms around here, chances of getting a shot of lightning is practically 0. :/
