Lightning from Picacho Peak State Park

Please view "Larger". This was a 15 sec. exposure without my tripod,

only propped on my tailgate. Any comments or critiques would be

appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Jeremy

Nice catch. It is impresive scene, I like remains of the sun and the contrast is good.

I dunno about you but your tailgate takes a very impressive shot...lol j/k

Very impressive. The varity of colours makes this uncroppable. 7's from me.

Just wow.

Its so cool to critique someone else named Jeremy!! LOL! Filming lightning has become my most favorite thing to photograph! I would be honored to have this one in folio! Very well done! the Depth of colors in this comp. is simply outstanding! From the darkest, deepest blue that Ive ever seen to the amazing redish orange! simply AWESOME!

I too am fond of shooting lightning. Check this out.

Do you use an electronic trigger or is this just a trial & error process? Also, thanks for your very kind words on my portfolio.

Thanks to all who have commented on this photo. I have never used an electronic trigger (I wonder if they actually work?), so it most definitely is trial and error. Thank god for digital, cause trying to catch lightning on film can be expensive!
