Post the originals.

While I was out taking shots, lightning was popping all around me. Mostly behind me to the NE and where your seeing the shots, to the S/SE from where I was facing. Few shots did pop down pretty close behind me a few times.



Here is one of the shots where the lightning was so close it just blinded the camera.

Last year, I was in the almost same location but on the other side of the marina (or whats left of it) taking some picture of lightning that I thought was far out. Lightning stuck so close to us (I appeard to hit around 50 yards out) that it burned my retina (spelling) and blinded me for seconds. Needless to say, I jumped in the car for a while.

Wish I still had the exposed picture of the time, but I lost it on a harddrive failure about 2-3 months ago. Learned a valuable lesson that day. :wtc:
