Northwest Tucson from Ina Road

Any thoughts on this and the other photos in this folder will be

appreciated. I am most interested in ideas for improvement from those

who have done this type of photography. As you know, composition is

often done by Mother Nature and not by the photographer. I always try

to adjust the color to match what I saw as closely as possible. I am

also just starting to shoot lightning with a medium-format camera, but

am having trouble getting sharp scans from my Epson 2450 scanner. Let

me know what you think. I'm always looking for ways to improve my

work. Thank you.

Very nice job!

angry sky! great capture

one of the best ligning pictures I have seen so far

I think the foreground is way too dark. I know how difficult is to get the right exposure when trying to catch a bolt, but if you were in a place with a lamp post or some other light sources this could have been much better.

Very nice. Needs a lot of luck and patience. I also prefer lighter forground. You can scan using Nikon Supercool scan 8000. I have the Supercool scan 4000, it's the state-of-the-art in scanning.

This is one of the best lightning pics I've ever seen. You can actually see color in the sky! And this despite the fact that it's all a picture of *one* lightning bolt (or is that two?)--which I appreciate because I don't like pictures that show many bolts of lightning that didn't actually all happen at once.

 

 

Once in a lifetime picture....great job.

Impressive !

helloo.. there.. it's very interesting one..can u tell me more.. that what u did before this was shot to make.. like ur aperture.. ur film roll.. tripod etc

This was a thirty second exposure at f/8 with an ISO of 200. I used a tripod of course. If you want to know more about shooting lightning please visit my presentation called LIGHTNING PHOTOGRAPHY 101. You can find it by clicking on my name.
