Nearly 3 years ago I decided I wanted to try and take some lightning photos, however, living in Newcastle I'm lucky if I get 5 storms in one year!
Yesterday there was a "thunderstorm", there must have only been 5 lightning strikes for the whole duration of the storm. I had to take the photo hand-held, since there was no where practical to set up a tripod in the house!
Anyway, here is the photo, it isn't great but it's my first ever lightning photo after 3 years of trying!
I have more photos, I will try and find an appropriate place to upload them so there isn't one thread full of photos!
