  • This is the Largest and Brightest Moon of 2010, it was taken at 3:04 am central time. It's at 221,577k miles away, give or take a few feet :) , the closest it will ever get to earth... The other moon pics on this page were 2009's largest. I only had a 280mm lens this time, that's why this one is a smaller photo, the others were shot at 420mm. These were shot free hand, which just shows you how amazing nikon is at night:) Stat's on this photo are F - 7.1, 1/400th, iso 200, & 280mm for all you photog's out there!!! I'm still amazed that I can take this pic from my front porch with a little tiny camera:) Just Amazing!!! This is Also a lot clearer than last years due to the fact that there were no clouds in the sky!!!

  • THIS IS THE FIRST OF THREE SHOTS IN A ROW THAT SHOW A STRIKE HITTING A POLE BY THE CEMETARY IN BELLE PLAINE. IT WAS 2 AM WHEN i SHOT THIS BUT IT'S AS BRIGHT OUT AS WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING, AS YOU CAN TELL. I HELD MY CAMERA TRIGGER DOWN BECAUSE I WAS BLINDED AFTER THIS BUT GOT TWO MORE GREAT SHOTS IN SEQUENCE!!! ENJOY AND REMEMBER I'M A PROFESSIONAL, DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME HA HA HA, JUST KIDDING!!!!

  • YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHT POLE WITH A YELLOW LIGHT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIGHTNING STRIKE, THIS IS THE SECOND FRAME OF THREE FROM THIS STRIKE, THE NEXT ONE IS DARKER BECAUSE THE LIGHTNING IS ALMOST GONE. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE CLOSEST I HAVE EVER BEEN TO A STRIKE AND BOY WAS I A BIT TINGLEY AFTER!!

  • THIS IS THE LAST OF THE THREE SHOTS. THE STRIKE WENT RIGHT BY ME AND I'M PRETTY SURE I COULDN'T SEE FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AFTER IT HAPPENED:( IT WAS RAINING SO MUCH THAT THE PICTURES ARE NOT AS CLEAR AS THEY WOULD BE, RAIN CAUSES LIGHT REFRACTION WHICH CAUSES A PHOTO IMAGE TO BE BLURRY MOST OF THE TIME!!:( If you look close you can see two other strikes happening in the back ground behind the trees!!
