Rainy Night Fun

We’ve had pretty nice weather the last couple weeks, so we won’t begrudge a rainy night.  In between the drops, we had lots of lightning and thunder off in the distance. Inspired me to get the camera out and play around a bit.  This shot, after several missteps, was taken from the deck facing west – the lens was open for a full minute.  I need to learn more about what our great camera can do.  It is 9 o’clock, the sky is filled with clouds, the light on the bushes up close is reflected from the screened-in porch and kitchen lights flowing out.  Other than those four dots on the other side of the valley, it is lightning that is providing the light for this shot. Sorry the focus is off – something for me to work on.

While I’m posting this, it is POURING down rain.  I got this done just in time.
