Yes, lightning shot is really cool! But I have a question - this is a very long exposure, judging by the star movements, how did you get that bolt so clear?
Yes- this is a single long exposure RAW image. The bolt was pretty clear in RAW form and through my normal editing process it ended up pretty much like this. The only thing I did to enhance it was to bring the white points and highlights up a bit.

So how many exposures did you take that night trying to get that shot?

You will be surprised. I only took four shots that night and only two from this location. I drove the rim road and walked around a bit before settling on this location. It was windy, cold, and I was tired. I set the timer and went back to the car for each shot. Saw this one as the 2nd shot and called it a night. :sombrero:
Now on other parts of my trip I shot a boat load of images including the last night on Paria Plateau I didn't even go to bed. Shot straight through the night through sunrise and then drove home. Full moon will make a photographer turn crazy.

I just saw an article in an online version of the magazine called "Space the Private Frontier" that had a link to a Fast Company article about some cool star trail photos taken at 17,000 mph while orbiting the earth:

cool shot
First Star Trail Attempt, evah...
Left the shutter open for about 5 minutes. Not sure if the sensor on my camera can handle much more of these before I do damage to it. There's a star trail setting that I can download for my camera so that the shutter doesn't need to stay open the whole time and burn out the sensor, might be a good investment...
