Pretty Light Show

A few weeks ago I decided to buy myself a little toy.  It’s an infa-red remote for my Nikon D70 camera.  I should have bought this thing a long time ago!  Not only are my daytime pictures a bit sharper because I’m not shaking the camera by pressing the shutter button, but now I can get nice little beauties like this one:

This evening there was a lot of cloud-to-cloud lightning.  No thunder; just lightning.  It was very frequent for about 30 minutes and has now trailed off.  This sortof reminds me of some of the pictures that I took in Capitol Reef, Utah on our honeymoon.  We spent about an hour blowing through rolls of film with a cable shutter release at the end of our hotel’s driveway.  There was cloud-to-ground lightning everywhere; it was amazing.  I might have to dig those out and look at them again sometime.
