Too Close For This Photographer!

While I was out shooting lightning one night this Spring, one bolt in

particular struck too close for comfort, and although I was shaken I

was also ecstatic that I had captured the strike on film. To give you

an idea how close this bolt was, the focal length of the lens setting

was close to 28mm wide angle. My guess the strike was within a

hundred yards. Exposure was 15 seconds at F-8. Camera: Canon Pro-1

ASA 50.

Es espectacular la fotografia. Muy impresionante.

 

No se puede criticar en lo absoluto..!!!

Striking story and shot. I, too, was pretty proud when I snatched my first (and only, actually) lightning, but it must have been miles away (I think I still actually have the image in my portfolio), an almost harmless apparition, compared to this electrifying thing you have here.

An amazing capture. definetly too close for comfort for myself.

exelent shot! Once in a lifetime (at least for me). we dont get many lighting storms where i reside.

Awesome picture- I felt like I was there.
