When lightning strikes....

....you get out your camera and take pics!  We had thunderstorms yesterday.  Big ones.  Not unusual for those of you who live on the mainland, but for us here in Hawaii, thunder and lightning is a big deal because it doesn't happen here very often.  So I don't get a lot of practice!  In fact, this was the first time I've ever tried to photograph lightning.  Although I got a little wet, I got to see an amazing light show.  What I learned about photographing lightning is that it takes quite a bit of patience and a fair amount of luck.  And the guts to go into a storm.
