Took some pics of lightning this weekend...

[edro]

Here are some pics of a huge lightning storm this weekend.

They are taken with my Canon A40, with a 6-15 second shutter speed, sitting on a table. The pics don't do the actual storm justice. It was at like 11pm, so it was pitch black out... Notice how some of the pics look like it is about mid-day.... that's how bright the lightning lit the yard up.

What part of Columbus were these taken from? West of 270?

To make it easier for us lazy AT'ers you should install coppermine.

I'll even do it for you.

I love the one pic that fully lit up the yard. I'd love a nice "safe" place to stand and be able to look at some lightning.
