I took these on April 6. Framing is not real good as I was rather in a hurry and also a little bit scared. We got some spectacular lightning that evening. Storm completely missed us, however. We didn't even get a drop of rain (unfortunately- very dry here).

    Thanks!

    Those are with the DigRebel and the 18-55mm kit lens @18mm. Those were each 30 second exposures. They're also consecutive frames, so that tells you a bit about how frequent and spectacular the light show was... I took about 8 shots and they all captured pretty impressive-looking bolts.

    Wow. Consecutive 30-second exposures? Impressive light show!

    Lemme see, 18mm on the Rebel XT would be equivalent to 28.8mm on a 35mm camera? That's still a pretty wide angle!
