Thank you for the visit and comment Georgios. It was a pretty intense storm and its hard to get these strikes on digital. By the time you see it and get the brain to tell the finger to hit the shutter, its gone. Out of 50 shots I got 2. Cheers:)) Danny

Well I was trying hard to get a good one Marilena, but like I said to Georgios, just could not get that finger to work faster. Cheers:)) Danny.

It is rewarding when you capture a strike, only 2 out of 20 or so ... cheers Essen, thanx for the view and nice comments, Danny
