Wow...that is just _ _ _ _ing awesome and amazing. I don't know how many 10's I've given out, not many but this is certainly one of them. On my desktop immediatly! dAVE
Another great capture, Tom. I like how smooooooooooooooooooooooth those clouds are...ahem! The lightning streaks are placed just right in this composition. Your timing was superb. I particularly like the explosive atmosphere given off by the lightning bolt at the top. A keeper, that's for sure. Pat

The 'Forked Lightning' shot was taken with my 'old' Fujifilm S5000 Z. I have since bought a Fujifilm S5100 (AKA: S5500) that I use now. They are both great affordable intermediate cameras for someone that is ready to move beyond a simple 'point and shoot' pocket camera.
Hey, what were you doing outside at that time. Watch it kiddo. Too close for comfort? However, I sure am glad you took this picture. Sensational drama.
Hey Tom Stunning shot........Great capture.....If I was out there when that big bugger flashed!....I would have to leg it home to change my 'Tighty Whities'!!!!!
These are some of my favorites reminds of cool spring thunder and lightening storms their so beautiful to watch and this picture is spiffy!!!! Thanks for sharing :)
This one's the best lightning shot I've ever seen. And that really bites because I've been chasing this stuff for years. The color, positioning, the cloud formation and its reflection on the water are all perfect. If I was voting instead of just poking around I would give it a ten
When I got tired of running from you
I stopped right there to catch my breath
There your words they caught my ears
You said, “I miss you son. Come home”
