June Lightning 3

After the tornado sirens stopped, the most incredible lightning storm

ensued. No wind, no rain, and non-stop cloud-to-cloud bolts.

 

I've posted three photos from this storm in my "Sky" portfolio. All

had the contrast stretched to accentuate the lighting on the clouds.

Coloration was done solely by modifying the white balance. The

red-ish shots use a higher color temp (~8700K) than the blue-ish shot

(~5500K). I prefer the blue-ish one, but most people seem to prefer

the red-ish color. What do you think? Anything else I can do to

improve my shots during the next storm? Getting enough light on the

clouds while keeping the shutter slow enough to stop their motion is

tough.

I have yet to photograph lightning. ::sigh:: so I know it's tough. You did an awesome job here so don't fret too much!
