Lightning Storm!

I personally dislike text-heavy blogs, and I LIKE reading, so I'm always trying to up the photo content. After all, if people wanted to read a book, well...that is why books exist. So, without any more text, here are some pictures of a storm that I was chasing from the comfort of my terrace.

At the time, the power was out, so i put some candles out for some mood lighting.

With the same settings, tried to capture the lightning strikes. It was pretty bright!

As the lighting streaked across the wind night sky, thunder-rolls shook my chair.

All in all, taking pictures of lighting is bloody hard. I'll try manual focus next time, and maybe a $3000 camera, and then I might get captures like this...
