We had a wicked storm last night here in NYC.
I spent about 45 min. shooting the lightning.
Out of some 500 shots taken, this was the only shot that I was able to catch a bolt.
"Lightning Over Central Park, Manhattan, NYC."

I make sometimes 20 shots for a good pic.. i´m waiting for next storm, my camera has a serial-function (3 pics in 2 seconds) |
