Thanks for that Dan. The lightning shot is very clever; I am never
quick enough to catch lightning on the few occasions that we have it
here in the UK.
I like the boiler as a subject, but I feel that this image is too
"busy". But it would be great to grab detail shots and use this one
as a scene-setter. Conversion to mono would look good too.
