It's nights like last night which makes me wish I was a better Photographer. I have fun trying though and am always am grateful for the shots I do get. If anyone has any advise on shooting lighting, besides don't get killed, I would love to hear it.

There was a lot of lighting last night. Good pictures! Some of the clouds before sunset were really unique too.

Nice shots man. I really like the 2nd one, it almost looks like a painting. And the one with you in it is really cool too.

Awesome Shots! I tried to get some shots on Saturday night, but I think I gave up too early. It seems like the best bolts were after the storm came in.

Sounds like we missed a pretty decent aurora show Friday night too.

These from NSP...
