Armageddon II

Here is where you can find a less-degraded image: http://www.geocities.com/venhaus1 Canon 70-200L f2.8. Waiting for several different strokes of internal lightning to illuminate the entire cloud (without multiple strokes in the same area)was the biggest challenge. The next biggest challenge was the scan- I used a Minolta Scan Speed- which has problem with this type of shot. The resolution lost in the scan (vs. slide)was disappointing, but you get the idea.... the larger file is a bit better, but still suffers from degradation from the upload.

Actually, I wasn't thinking so much in terms of input, but rather output - i.e., the computer monitor - but Chris brings up another good point, namely: the technology to get it there (and subsequently, the skill level of the people who use said technology).

Good Lord.... Thanks Chris Grady.. for directing to the high res image on the website... It looks like an atom bomb explosion... Very impressive and it sure does make a difference to view it in high resolution vs the jpeg. Still wishing the dark areas were darker and richer. I was in the pre press business for three years and I know that if we were to print this image (4-color process) ...our color correction expert would have insisted on darkened the image to avoid the milky quality in the shadow areas which make it look ever so slightly underexposed.... It could be just a matter of taste.. And, not to take away from the image itself which I think is very powerful.

This is a great photo, but having seen many of your other images on critique forums it might not have been my first choice as favourite. Anyway congrats on POW, and the exposure to the photo.net audience of your work that many of us have enjoyed for some time.

What else can I say but "Wow" Capturing something like that is quite fantastic and the color is simply stunning. The details in the clouds are amazing and the city below shows how small we really are compared to natures wonders.

unusal colors. good job. i'm reminded that lightning kills about 10x more people each year than sharks, yet there seems to be a much greater fear of sharks.
