    Another offensive was launched by the Empire against the Rebel's energy shield. ; Previous attacks have been unsuccessful, even though the campaigns in the Dallas and Houston quadrants have been.

    This time they tried the ion cannons:
    [attachimg=1]ISO 4500

    Oops! ; I need to turn off Auto ISO!

    [attachimg=2]

    Near Miss.

    [attachimg=3]

    That's the ticket.


    In the end they failed to breach the shield and no mind controlling water fell from the skies.

    Thanks everyone!


    This one was luck. ; The storm ended up going straight in my home's direction, so I was able to shoot with the storm not yet arriving.

    In the end I bailed because shortly after the last shot the storm was almost overhead and didn't want to be a target in the middle of some open space...or get rained on. (which never materialized)

    here is one of my lightning shots... ; pay no attention to the fact that there are no bolts in the sky, but do notice that this was taken at 2:11 IN THE MORNING!

    Roger,

    Even with the Auto ISO left on the picture was impressive. ; My tree lines are too high for me to get those kinds of shots from my yard

    Tim, I'd say that even though it was 02:11 that the shot is impressive! ; That was a pretty bright bolt of lightning.

    Great stuff Roger! ; I have the same problem as Ray - trees in all direction pretty much blot out my view to any horizon...unfortunate with the amount of lightning we get down here!

    I've only ever gotten one from my backyard:

    It was close, it was loud, it was raining, and I was in the open by my pool barefoot on a wet deck holding a metal tripod. ; It was the last shot I took that night. ; :0
