Description
a storm came through last night and rained but it was short lived. I took a lot of the storm clouds, but after wards they lit up a volcano at night. I tried to get some lightning but after about 300 shots, all I got was one flash.just as soon as I would lower the camera for a break, it would strike in the distance(15-20 miles away)
this is a preview to my next post.if I say so myself, the following captures are among the most dramatic sun sets I have ever taken. to say the least, I was outside for more than 2 hours shooting the sky
thanks for viewing and any comments.

Looks like an explosion....I can see why you would spend two hours outside. Looking forward to the rest of the shots.
Wow, Richard what incredible multi-view sky!
This one is TOTALLY amazing.. Superb..
impressive lighting on those clouds
Astonishing!!
you are lucky!!!! gorgeous capture!!!!!!!
Great shot
stunning dramatic cloudscape, good colours! 300 shots? were they all short exposures or what? not sure what your method was, but the best chance of catching lightning that I've seen is to fire off a succession of 30-sec exposures one after another... you probably already know that but just thought I'd mention it in case not ;)
wow very cool :-)
Amazing sky! Great capture. :)
