If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

Just saying.[;)]
My brother lives in a hi rise down in town and during a storm sets his camera to just take a 10 second exposure (or whatever is working for that storm and light conditions ) pretty much continuously
The color balance in your second one is great. My brothers biggest problem is the white balance with all the different light sources in downtown Atlanta.
My dad, brother and I love storm pictures but they have a lot more opportunity for shots than I do. Spring break I have a great vantage point, but really don't want bad weather. LAst trip I didn't even get any really good sunsets.... The clouds looked promising and then something always seemed to block us from the west right at the critical time
Interesting. What is your strategy?

I tried something different tonight.....I set the camera (Canon T3i/55-250mm Canon lens) on auto/sports setting. I was able to push the button and when the lightening flashed, it would take the pic.....
Thanks again for sharing!

Wow! To be able to see the lightning, point and focus the camera and then take the picture you must be fast as lightning... No, wait... You must be even faster than lightning! Don't get in a quickdraw contest with this fella!
Cool pics.

It's about a half acre - fenced in and backs on to green acres national parkland...
The animals participate - especially the duck and the turtle...
The dog usually curls up on an Adirondack chair - I put a piece of tarp on him and he watches the others cavort...
The are usually pretty quiet - they seem to respect the night...
Sometimes I put some scrap wood in the firepit and let it burn...
Usually ends up with all of us sitting in a semicircle under cover watching the light show and feeling the thunder...
Sometimes Makaila will join us with a glass of wine and a massive oversized Russian surplus winter full length fur trim jacket...
The duck and turtle like the rain...
The dog likes the fire...
It's quiet time fore me - I try to escape thinking about Cancer and death for awhile...
Sometimes you see deer grouped together under a tight copse of trees right past the back border fence...
I keep a feeder and a few games cameras out there...
Sometimes you can capture the lynx and bobcat killing wild turkeys at night...
It's a brief moment of solace for me.
We are very close to were the Delaware River meets the rancoacas creek - never amico island...

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
