Three Strikes

Oh now feel it comin' back again

like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind--

forces pullin' from the center of the earth again

I can feel it.

Sir, where were you when you took these pictures and how did you know when you would click the button to take the pictures? I'm amazed.
Mario_bao said at 10:19 a.m. on Jul 10, 2008:
Sir, those shots left me awestruck. How did you get them? How did you time the shots? Amazing... :O
Sirnicolay said at 10:29 a.m. on Jul 10, 2008:
Thanks, guys! I live on the 21st floor of my condo building. That's how I got these shots. There are always interesting things happening outside my window. Hahaha!

The third shot was really, really a miracle. I was waiting for the lightning to appear--I wasn't ready yet--and just on an impulse, I clicked--that's exactly when the lightning struck. Strange eh?

The first two are not accidental shots. I waited for those two for about ten minutes. Then I pressed continuous clicking. Haha!

These photos are amazing, expecially the last one. It's so difficult to catch it and, what is more, I havent' ever seen one so big. Bravissimo, Sir. Ciao

Excellent shots... it is SOOOO hard to catch lightening... you did great!!
IPepper said at 10:36 a.m. on Jul 10, 2008:
The third one was simply breathtaking. How you can take something that happens so fast in such vivid detail mesmerizes me. When this light show was happening, I wasted all my time hoping that the power would not get cut off like what happened last time. The lighting was dangerously close to my house :))

Wow, nice pix. You have a really good vantage point. I have to take mine from ground level in the midwest while still having a reasonable amount of protection. Impressive though.
