bob_paden 0 Posted September 19, 2002 What an incredible image! How long did you have the shutter open? The timing on this image is outstanding! I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of this lightning bolt,,,. Link to comment

mattlaudergallery 0 Posted October 2, 2002 If you had gotten any closer Im sure your hair would have stood on end. The is a perfect example of right place, right time and perfect shutter and exposure timing. Well Done. Make sure if your going out wear rubber shoes :) Link to comment
roberto_ayala 0 Posted October 2, 2002 Thanks to all! Shooting this kind of photography is more than dangerous. In my area have been dead several people by these lightning bolts. This first attempt was from my door, and it caused the lost of electric supply. If you would like to try this kind of shots, be sure not to be below trees or to be far away from the storm. As I said, this night was the first at getting lightnings, unfortunately in my area only I can try this by July or September. so, I have to wait until next year. :o( I'm satisfied with this shot, and now, I have some interesting places where to go when I have another opportunity.
