Default My first Lightning picture

I've been trying for a while to get a nice shot of a lightning bolt and friday I got a couple of them. I still need to upload the other ones but I got one with my Z in it. The camera I used is a Sony Cybershot DSC-H5 7.2 mp. Enjoy.

Not bad, but you can adjust your settings for a dusk shot?

I got a cybershot 5.2 MP camera. I don't like it too much 'cause I feel it like it lacks features to take quality night time / motion shots. Does the new one improve on that?

Almost every night shot I have taken has come out exactly how I wanted it. I think they are beautiful. I have a few I took at that I will be making posters out of and hanging on my walls. The one thing I've noticed about my night shots are that they have a little to much noise. I've taken a few motion shots also that came out pretty good. Heres a good night shot and motion shot for you.
