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

I guess that public response was the abridged version? :-P
Simon Muirhead
haha its alright for a woman to express their sexual desires in a public forum but for a guy its just sleazy :P
JenniferB
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
