Day 125: It Was a Dark and Stormy Night
Written by John Shea
It rained all day. And then it rained all night. But then I saw some flashes of lightning out the window so I quickly got out on the porch and set up the camera to take some long exposures, hoping to capture lightning on film (memory card?). There was no further lightning, so that was a bust. But that's not to say the results were bad. Quite the opposite really. Much to my surprise, since it looked pitch black to my eye, was this eye popping lake view. And I mean eye popping. What I've posted here has actually been tweaked on the computer to tone down the color of the grass. It was actually bordering on garish before that.
