Lightning and hills - interesting shooting location during a storm         
Yes, thats what you think it is in the upper left of the frame - funny, I was wondering if I could ever catch a bolt at 1/125 second... I was trying speeds down to 1/8, but this was right after the train had went by and I was still hoping for a pusher (so what if it was a completely empty well-car special!) and there were multiple flashes coming from behind me, so I spun the camera around on the tripod and aimed across toward the next closest hill. Instead it was in the distance of the car still in the frame. Speaking of which, Id moved a little too close to the car after shifting the tripod into location to shoot the train instead of the sunrise... looks like with the approaching storm Id better move back away from the big metal object upon this hill. And Im still waiting on sunrise (it turned out to be at 05:37, nine minutes after this shot... just in case you were keeping track... the funny part was a double rainbow appeared during the lightning storm and just before sunrise - Id thought wed only get a rainbow after the sun popped over the hill behind me in this shot - so much for thinking. (Rainbows are supposed to be the sun going through atmosphere - so seeing a double going all the way down to the ground didnt seem logical - except the rainbow started on the distant western hills, so I presume they were in sunlight before us, even if I couldnt see it with the naked eye... right?)
