Description And now introducing, the most dynamic lightning strike I have ever taken! You've gotta admit, the colors in this one are fantastic. It's like an entire rainbow of color, all originating from the lightning. The texture of the clouds also blows me away. This shot was taken just after a sheer cloud had passed over, so the textures were sweet! And to finish it off, we've got the silhouetted horizon

Please tell me what you think!

WOW! This is awesome. Kind of funny, me and my brother were just talking about lighting shots, I've never really thought about trying to capture one before. Maybe you can give me some pointers. I seen you have more than one picture with lighting, is there a trick? Amazing.

Okay... as soon as we get some rain again! This is a good location for lightning shoots, the hill country of Texas has a particularly strong electrical conductivity so, yes, when we get the right weather coming our way again I will send u a note because that is a life-long photographic dream.

Great shot! I've spent a lot of time to catch a lightning, but until now I've got just 2 or 3 scrappy shots. Congrats for this and the others, too. It seems, you're a lightning-capture specialist.

FramedByNature In reply to irgendeine [2008-07-08 16:53:08 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! It's really tough to capture, but all it really takes is a quick reaction and a tone of patience I wouldn't call myself a specialist, but maybe someday
