264) More Lightning


There was a fantastic lightning storm over the Marquesas this evening. I was working at the pie shop when I noticed the entire sky was lighting up from the not too distant storm. So when I finished work, I rushed over to the park with my tripod and camera, hoping to capture something. The strange orange glow in the first picture is due to the many orange lights on the navy mole pier and long exposure.



Unfortunately none of these shots will be able to be blown up very large at all. The age of my camera really shows when it comes to the ISO and taking long exposure shots. I had to apply a noise reduction and smoothing filter just to manage the grain for these small sizes (and it still doesn't look good).
