So here's my very first shot of lightning - taken looking Southeast of Billings, from up on the rims. Out of 180+ shots, this is the only one I actually managed to capture. Not spectacular, but its a start...

[Addendum: FWIW, I wasn't the only one out snapping photos last night - Dennis Rogers, who takes GREAT photos, got this shot looking out to the west. Want to see some more of his stuff? Try this, this and this for starters. Welcome to Montana folks!]
