I see a thread like this at nearly every forum I visit, but not here. So here goes. Post a pic you took...Just your own. Descriptions are nice but not necessary.
I'll start...My second attempt at catching lightning.
Canon 30D and Tamron 17-50 (@17) on a cheap Targus tripod. ISO200, f/9, manually focused at (close to) infinity, ten-second exposure length. Camera was set for mirror lock-up before the shot and a cable release was used to minimize as much camera shake as possible.
