First Lightning picture

Please let me know what you think about my first Lightning shot.

Thanks,

Steve

Honestly, I think the difficulty in capturing lightning makes it mean more to you than it does to a non-involved viewer. I had the same thing happen with rainbows. When I finally caught one, I thought it was the most wonderful thing. Looking back on it makes me realize that the photo isn't all that special. It's just an ordinary scene that happens to have a rainbow in it.

In your case, you don't have a scene at all. You have some pretty lightning, but nothing really there to make a photo. I hope this doesn't come across as hurtful because I don't mean it to be. I'm just suggesting you try to look at the photo as if you hadn't put the work into capturing it. What is there that would excite someone who wasn't involved in the process?
