This photo was taken in Roy Utah. The fireworks are about a 1/2 mile south of my house with the lightning about 25 miles away. I captured this amazing photo with my nikon d70s right after i bought it and was actually just learning how to operate it.

Lightning and Storms Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints
