Thanks for your thoughts Chris. I do intend to go back to the boiler room to
do some more work. In the first session I shot a half roll of film too so I
am going to see what I get back from that before I head back in. My legs are
covered in mosquito bites from my 30 minutes in there (forgot to take the
bug spray plus it was 90 degrees in there and I was wearing shorts...). I am
sure there is more in the subject so I will be sure to post a follow-up. 

The lighting was a bit of luck really, I thought I caught more of it but out
of 90 or so frames this was the only one that captured a bolt. My method was
unscientific and just involved firing the camera continually until the
buffer was full (shooting RAW). Because the storm was moving past and away
from Raleigh that night I didn't have to worry about getting wet thankfully!

Thanks for that Dan.  The lightning shot is very clever; I am never  
quick enough to catch lightning on the few occasions that we have it  
here in the UK.

I like the boiler as a subject, but I feel that this image is too  
"busy".  But it would be great to grab detail shots and use this one  
as a scene-setter.  Conversion to mono would look good too.
