This is when things started to turn dicey. Thunder was rolling in the distance, and the rain had started.

Sorry about all the rain spots on the lens. I just was having a difficult time balancing the umbrella and the camera, and the wind was blowing directly into the camera. Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: October 29, 2006 Comments: 6165

Great weather shot, Lori. Looks like you got a good soaking. Ominously black clouds and I like it when the rain is just beginning or ending and you can still see through the wall of water. Terrific image. Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: June 17, 2009 Comments: 7959

Hey SV Lover... I'd be more than happy to tell you how I shoot daytime lightning but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to send you e mail through this site... and I am not web illiterate, this site is just so complicated... so if you can figure a way to e mail me so I can reply..... (and maybe clue me in on how to e mail via WU...) Excellent shot here, you are right... our shots are somewhat similar. Congrats on the AC!
