Threatening Skies

Picture of the Day for 5/7/2013. There was a thunder/lightening storm tonight accompanied by quite the deluge. Just like taking a picture of the moon is nigh on impossible. I find it extremely difficult to capture a rainstorm. The pictures below were my attempts. What is interesting is the difference a tap on the iPhone screen makes. Tapping the screen focuses the camera and will make the lighting go from dark to light or light to dark. The first picture makes it seem like the skies were quite threatening while in fact the second picture more accurately depicts the view from my front porch. I kind of like the threatening picture better. It's more dramatic.
