My First Lightning Shot

For quite a while now I have wanted to get a picture of lightning, but I never seem to be in the right place at the right time... until last night.  My wife and I were watching TV downstairs when we began to hear the thunder. We first went out to the back yard and saw the awesome storm taking place.  I ran upstairs as quickly as I could grabbed my camera and tripod and set it up looking out our bedroom window. This was my 3rd or 4th shot, but in total I took about 40.
