From the storms that went across North Texas last night

Was taking pictures of the wall cloud dropping down in the background (dropped a tornado out over the lake, but I couldn't see it from my house...just the spiralling wall cloud). When I looked at them on the computer I saw that I had actually caught the lightning in one of them. Pure dumb luck.

you'll have to explain to me....what is trotter?

I know what a water mark is. You guys think someone will try to steal it or something? Not normally a problem with my pictures....but they usually suck  [laugh]

My dad is a pro outdoor photog and yeah people will try and steal that one.
It's that good. Helping my dad out occasionally I see alot of really good stuff.
Stick a watermark on it for sure. Otherwise you'll see it stolen and someone else
take credit for it and be selling it. Ask how I know  :-\

Check out the various photog magazines. You might be able to get that shot on one of their pages and get some money out of it.

aight...

I added a little thingy to the bottom of it...signed it. I'm not going to put big watermarks across the whole picture. I can't bring myself to do it...it ruins the experience of looking it.

I had posted it on facebook, and the someone from the local paper saw it. They're going to have it in their next issue.

nadda....

he asked if I wanted anything for it...told him no. Though they sell prints if people call (photos from highschool basketball games and such), so if anyone calls for a print, I get the money for that. I'm not really interested in making money with pictures...just thought people would like to see it  [thumbsup]

your picture...your choice. [thumbsup]

at least no one else can legally use your photo for profit.
