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 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, 5 months ago
Well it was well worth your weathering the storm Simon, such a sexually charged shot. ;-)
JenniferB, 5 months ago

I guess that public response was the abridged version? :-P
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, 5 months ago
darn… you mean that it doesn’t sound sleazy when I express mine? :
( I’ve obviously gotta try harder. ;) You’re right though, the double standards do work both ways, ACDC…Simon Muirhead, 5 months ago
