I took these tonight with the big storm that produced hail in downtown Chicago. I thought that our windows might crack! These pictures were taken with a D3100 at 3.0 seconds on a small tripod. I was on manual focus just under infinity to capture the distance. I took over 60 shots to grab these two. What do you think?
