BIRD AND WALKING STORM

Fort Worth, TX

The birds came through just before the major winds started coming in from this storm last night. Guess they knew to get to a safe place. I decided at that point to head to the house and thank God I did! Lots of damage around the area but me and my property held up okay. No damage at all except a few branches. 70-85 mph straight line winds came out of this storm.

The lightning reminded me of someone walking for some strange reason. I took this one after the next image on this gallery. The sky changed colors and got darker very, very quickly.

Canon EOS Rebel T3i
1/60s f/3.5 at 18.0mm iso200 full exif

First, very cool to capture these bolts at only 1/60th sec, Cindi. Second, the birds really make this capture special. Well done. V.

An astounding, magnificent capture and image.....like a trailer for a horror movie....maybe when they do a remake of Hitchcock's The Birds?
