22/07/2004 23:44 W. My view wasn't exactly great, but at least this was an attempt of an IC.

 

23/07/2004 00:52 SE. Some bad luck as my lens became damped on earlier trials and this was in fact the only decent shot of the night. These were my first (digital) shots of nightly lightning.... up to the better stuff in future?
