Capturing Happy Moments Through The Lens

A dream come true..

all photos are taken about 15 mins ago, time now 2340 hrs.. and i'm working morning shift tml.. but i dont care.. this is something which is really really rare.. it started at roughly 1030pm today..

i was watching mythbusters on OKTO.. and the i saw flashes from my window.. after the 5 flash.. i went to the window and look.. i was shocked.. i saw a really huge lightning.. i will discribe it as it looks like roots from a tree.. i cant explained how i felt.. and within about 30mins, i counted more then 15 lightning strikes at roughly the same area.. strange.. yes.. really strange in fact..
and so i thought maybe i should take photo.. then i thought again.. later tio dua.. cos there's this once.. the lightnings were also flashing like crazy.. so i decided to drag out my camera and tripod..

after i mounted to tripod and set my cam.. guess wat.. lightnings went MIA.. i waiting for about half an hour and still no lightning.. i gave out.. pack my camera and i saw flashes.. i was pissed.. cos it was hot and dark.. and i was sleepy.. so i went to sleep.

but this time i waited.. and after the show ended i decided if the lightning flashed again.. i will take out my camera and start shoting less the tripod.. i was lazy..haha.. and so i started waiting.. the lightnings came.. but not totally in view which explains the above shot.. so i waited and waited..
there where many many lightning strikes but many of which were not in view.. so i pretty much saw flashes of light most of the time.. and finally.. i clear one.. but guess wat.. i missed it.. cos i adjusted my settings on the camera..

and so i decided again.. i set a time frame for myself.. 2325hrs.. not lightning photo its time to go to sleep.. but i was lucky really really lucky..
you can click the image to view it bigger.. i dont often do this.. but this is a special photo.. so therefore special treatment..

i got the shot.. i got the shot.. i would like to call this every photographers dream.. its time to end..

sidetrack.. i started worked at IKEA today.. its was pretty much ok.. everyone seems really friendly.. but ..haha.. we'll see..haha..

Godspeed..
