It's strange how that store in the back right doesn't have a sign.
You'd think it would.

...just saying.

Great capture! What method did you use to get this? Did you set your camera on the continuous mode, or did you have a lightning sensor?

This is a great shot! It looks like it's streaking out behind the telephone pole... awesome job! I would love to know how you took such an awesome shot, because I'm finding it troublesome to get some lightning shots.

Yeah, the funny thing is... I wait and wait and wait, then when I look away a huge strike hits and I completely miss it... hehe.

It's hard even for professionals doing this all their lives to catch a bolt of lightning, you did superbly. I love the contrast of the lights of the town with the lightning. Great shot.

Damn son.
I'm glad both you and Matt managed to catch the ridiculous lightning last night, I was stuck on the train coming back from the loop, of course, without my camera.
Great capture btw, every piece of this comes together really well.

Kathumane [2006-07-18 19:42:56 +0000 UTC]

awsome capture, the combination of perfect exposure on the ground and the lightning itself make the image outstanding. what was the tedious trick you had to figure out eh?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

trevor-mcnaughton In reply to Kathumane [2006-07-19 00:02:25 +0000 UTC]

aha
it actually wasnt a trick but i figured out that exposures exceeding 6 seconds do not allow the lightning to show up on a digital camera.
