    i was waiting on a moment, but the moment never came. all the billion other moments, were just slipping all away. i must have been tripping, we're just slipping all away. just ego tripping.

    Very hard choice here, for two reasons.
    May the downforce be with you

    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    I voted for the lightning, I tried to catch one myself recently when having a vantage spot on the 20th floor in a Jakarta Hotel, but a very slow camera, so I can understand the difficulty in getting it right. I got 4 black pictures and then stopped...
    On the other hand the fountain will not play tricks on you, it is a constant flow.

    I voted for the Fountain because I think it looks "serene" and that it is better composed.

    But I think a few issues come with trying to capture lightning.

    I'd say ten minutes of trying and you get the hang of it. I tried catching it taking continous shots with 30s or more aperture. Got a few, not as nice though.

    I just realized, did a mod add the poll? I think I completely forgot. If so thanks, I seem to be losing it lately.
