blimeyy

great shot. how long was the exp?

only critique is i would say the colour editing is a bit extreme and doesnt rly blend very nicely. the pink is alright but the blue and the ground are a bit dark and over saturated. and the horizon is wonky

but seriously epic capture, nice work

Your critique is on the money, I had a hard time with that too, there was no way to "unsaturate" the green without it looking bad. I seriously thought about posting this in B&W. I tried unsaturating it a little, but wasn't impressed with the results. the exposure was 5 seconds, the horizon is crooked on purpose. its been a while since I shot landscape, guess I'm used to tilting.

Thanks man, cheers

One time I lost a friend in the rain. That's not true, it wasn't raining. Seattle doesn't get lightning and it makes me sad.

thats surprising. Vancouver gets a lot. I got so many lightning shots from this storm it was hard to pick one. 360 degrees, a very cool night.

I know. Its depressing. Seattle seems to be failing in a lot of ways this is just another I suppose.
