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?

Fantastic shot. I can't wait for some decent storms when the weather starts to warm up a little. That's definitely a for me!

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.

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?

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.
