Nature Will NOT Be Ignored

After several years we finally got a decent electrical storm a few night back that was not preceded with photo ruining rain!

Love the lighting in that first shot MA. With the house being lit up just ever so slightly makes this moment captured even more dramatic. Very well done.

That first one is awesome the way the lightning is spider-webbed all through the clouds. Very, very cool. :thumbup: :thumbup:

i agree - really dig that first one! lovely sky colour as well.

Also agree, number one is a great comp and capture.

Another vote for number 1. As HBG said "With the house being lit up just ever so slightly makes this moment captured even more dramatic"

Thank you everyone :)

Another vote for the first one, the sky color and the lighting on the house and cars.

Yep Number 1 for me as well. Love the sky colour. Nice capture.

Thanks Q1 and RM :)

Wow so difficult to capture. #1 is also my favorite. Can I ask for how long you had to leave the shutter open to capture these?

Thanks ewaizel.

There are two ways I do this ... 1 is I simply use the timer only anything from 10 secs through to 30 secs depending on how frequent the lightning ... or 2 ... I use a remote and Bulb setting and sit there with it open until I think I have the shot.

It should be noted that I while waiting for the lightning I used a very powerful LED light to 'paint' in the house and cars.
