    Good effort Dave and something that I'd eventually like to try.

      That's not so bad, I've done similar in the past (including the underpants thing) with worse results.

          Would love to catch lightening. Well done. I zoomed in a bit and looked portrait - it really is good.

                lol...I don't know it would make a good selfie if you got the timing right - I'd suggest holding a metal stick in the air to give you a better chance ;o)

                    Nice one Dave. Only spoilt by the image of how you was dressed, or not as the case may be.
