    Wow, impressive Bip. Did you have to take many shots to get those?

    BTW like your avatar :)

    Those are very cool shots you took, Bip (plus wow, great camera in your phone too). It's interesting to be able to examine the pics and look closely at the path the lightning takes. Pretty impressive, yes!

    I like your avatar too.
    I noticed Frank's new(ish)one as well.

    It took a couple tries to get good pics, but I figured it out pretty quick. There would be a flash of light before the actual lightning, and my camera takes a few seconds to actually take the pic. So I would hit the Take button right at the flash, so by the time the lightning showed up, it would get captured :D

    My avatar is really cute, if I do say so myself ;) BJ loves snuggling with me when Im napping, and I took the shot myself *lol*
