Tim's Rainbow

My niece (aka The Red-Eyed Pig) sent me a photo taken by her husband.

With their permission I am posting it here. It is a VERY unusual picture - I know I don't have anything like it nor have I seen anything close anywhere else.

Tim went out to take pictures of the rainbow, and just as he snapped, a bolt of lightning came out of the clouds...

That is a fantastic photo. My son has been trying to get a photo of lightning, but just about the time he gets discouraged and turns to come into the house, it flashes, and he's missed it again.

Wow! What a fantastic shot. That's MY son-in-law. Keep taking those pictures. Looks like you have a hidden talent. Mom

For my own "lightning shot", which I took earlier this year, I was using a digital camera. It was almost pitch black outside, and I too probably 40-50 shots (digital is free so why not?)... discouraged, I started thinking about it... the lightning kept coming, and I happened to think - my camera will do 15 second shots... so i set it up to do that, and about the 3rd shot, I got this one: My first.

But I have never, ever seen a shot that combined lightning with a rainbow!!!
