    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

    JenniferB

    I guess that public response was the abridged version? :-P

  • Simon Muirhead

    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

    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
