This is beautiful I love how it has purples and oranges and pinks, like a sunset, but is actually late at night, with ominous clouds and brilliant lightning. Spectacular ^_^

The raw unbridled power of nature is really a sight to marvel at, and you captured this in a crisp and clear manner that really brings this feeling to bear.

So beautiful I'm actually upset that I can't fave this a second time.

What made the lightning red?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

DaXXe In reply to xscar10 [2011-07-09 01:01:18 +0000 UTC]

The unedited lightningpictures of these are more yellow/orange so it's the HDR + colorbalance effect which makes it more red

The intensity of the colours, blended like that, reminds me of the brilliance of so many sunsets. The electricity makes it cooler, somehow.
Though the grain of the clouds seems a little off, the colours honestly more than make up for it.

Thanxes a ton!
Aiii, it might depend on some HDR addition + Neat Image plugin effect which causing it

DaXXe In reply to BurningRoseBud [2011-07-09 00:51:21 +0000 UTC]

It depends where in Sweden ya live C:
As from middle of May to middle of June we dalecarlians had unusual lots amounts of thunder in the parts of province Dalecarlia due to warm and cold air collaborations within this period. It rumbled about each 2nd day.

Vi var i Rättvik i somras, och det åskade rätt mycket då också, men inte såhär mycket. Och här uppe i Norra Sverige åskar det inte alls sådär mycket. Otroligt mäktig och vacker bild! Älskar åskväder!

DaXXe In reply to MirmusMaximus [2011-07-09 00:34:46 +0000 UTC]

Waaa verkligen ? Vart i Rättvik bodde ni då någonstans ?
Mellan mitten av Maj fram tills mitten av Juni var det väldiga åskoväder här i Dalarna eftersom kalluften och varmluften kollaborerade väldigt ofta här under den perioden. 9e Juni hade vi det kraftigaste åskovädret som drog över här varav en blixt slog ner i våran grannes antenn och förstörde all deras tänkbara elektronik som var ikopplat. Vi blev också drabbade till en viss del vid den rejäla smällen och slog ut alla jordfelsbrytare samt förstörde våran mikro, kökstelefon, telefonanslutning, internet och en kökslampa som var tänd.
Sen mitten av Juni nu har det vart knappt någonting på sistone. Nånting man kanske ska vara glad för, även fast man älskar åska
Tack så mycket förresten
