The second night on my vacation houseboating on Lake Shuswap in BC, we had a small lightning storm. It only rained for a little bit, and fortunately it was the only day it rained.

I took this picture with a Canon Powershot S200 by sitting on the top of the houseboat. Shutter speed was set to 1 full second which is what caused the blurriness (the houseboat was rocking because of the waves). I got it by putting the camera into continuous shooting mode and holding down the shutter until I saw lightning.

We spoke our minds too clearly. We assumed fundamental rights were inherent not as pawns but humynz. I do not require a gauge for freedoms of speech cuz I never asked to be a citizen.

wow! that is intense! :o (Eek) Great job.. too bad the scenery is a bit blurred, but it sounds like you did the best you could do in that situation...not to mention the lightning is tack sharp...so that's all that matters. The blurriness is almost cool in a way because it brings out the subject that much more. I love the reflection of the lightning in the water too...That must have been quite a scene to see a lightning storm like that over a lake. Excellent capture. :) (Smile)
