214/365 - Jim - Lake Storm

( f/5.6 200mm 1/10 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )
This is my second attempt to go fishing. This time the boat engine worked, and we got out in the water. Then the storm clouds engulfed the lake and started pouring rain. We thought it might pass over, but cue the lightning. A few bolts and we were heading back to shore. Loaded up the boat and waited for a while, but it wasn't letting up. So that makes 2 times fishing and not one line in the water. I'll eventually get to fish... This photo was pretty lucky. At 1/10th of a second shutter, everything should be very blurry, but somehow I followed the movement of the boat zoomed in at 200mm while we were also racing back to shore. It was impressive enough to post as today's photo.
