    wow… beautiful shot, it sure beats the single bolt of lightning that I was proud of capturing! :-) are the colours and lighting ‘environmentally friendly’ or did you manipulate the scene a little?

  • Simon Muirhead

    Simon Muirhead in reply to JenniferB’s comment, 5 months ago

    No JenB, what you see is what was there:)....that was the only good shout out of about 100! lol…i even ran home halfway through the storm to google how to take lightening photographs lol

  • JenniferB

    JenniferB, 5 months ago

    Well it was well worth your weathering the storm Simon, such a sexually charged shot. ;-)

  • Simon Muirhead

    Simon Muirhead, 5 months ago

    haha its alright for a woman to express their sexual desires in a public forum but for a guy its just sleazy :P

  • JenniferB

    JenniferB, 5 months ago
