Force of Mother Nature !, a photo from Bucuresti, East

Photographer's Note

My first photo of a thunderbolt. 2 hours of pictures for 5 good pictures. I think it worth it. No other words.
Exposure 10 seconds (it's not on the list), f 2.8

-------
This was a storm, a big one and i think will qualify for Scav Hunt. :)

Very well captured! It must have been a very impressive storm.

The photo itself is well composed although it seems to have quite a few specks. Maybe a pass through NeatImage would help.

Wow! Two lightning pics on one TE page :).

You are right - it's really worth your efforts.

Never managed to get a good shot of lighting by myself and I spent quite a lot of film without any result :-( But using digital cameras it is at least a lot cheaper to take a lot of pictures to reach this goal. Nevertheless: very impressive shot and certainly worth the two hours of patience. Thanks for your information on exposure: very useful!

Very well done - a good exposure level for the lightning bolts, and all the tiny details there. I like how they framed themselves to the left side of your frame, too. The city scene below seems a little tilted to me, and as several people mentioned to me in my storm photos, it would be nice to see a little more of the area you are photographing with the lightning. I understand your happiness at acheiving one great photo from all the hours spent trying. Good work, and great patience!

"Patience et longueur de temps font plus que force ni qu'Orage " ! )

Let you found the translation . it's in french
but the taste of the words is better in this case ..

Great shot, Dan. Well done. Maybe I'd like the background a little darker, but TFS.

nchifan (910) 2004-07-12 16:08

Yes! I like your shot! Thank's for exposure details!

Impressive capture! The placement of the lightning is very nice in the composition. Good colors also.

Extremely good. It looks too close for comfort.

Great capture, Dan. Moving a little bit to the right, it would even make it better.

absolutely incredible shot. it is such a powerful picture. Impressive how you captured something that happens in the blink of an eye so well. I notice you have an olympus digi cam too :)

Now if i can only get mine to take such an amazing picture. thanks for sharing, your patience was well rewarded.

Excellent capture of this great nature lightshow ! The picture shows us so well the scene that we think the building will be destroyed by this nature force.
