Bolt of Lightning Very Very Frighting!

Flagler Beach, Florida during a thunderstorm over the inter coastal waterway.

I didn't realize capturing lightning was so difficult. I was lucky to get this shot only after half a dozen tries (but then spent the next 10 minutes trying for another one before I gave up from the extreme humidity and heat). Although I miss the nice warm Atlantic Ocean I could live without the heat and humidity.

A funny story related to the intercoastal waterway. Due to an accident on the boat we were on my lens hood is sleeping with the fishies. It was funny but at the same time a pain to replace ($32.00 plastic ring I know).
