Artist's Comments
This shot really took me by surprise. I had gotten a couple of shots of lightning from this storm before this one, so I figured I had all the settings and aperture correct, then this bolt of lightning struck and illuminated the sky so brightly that it completely overexposed the shot. I thought I had lost it for good. It wasn't until I got home and just decided to try and adjust the exposure did it actually come out and I was stunned by the complexity of this strike.
Exposure time: 6.8 seconds Focal length: 18mm FNumber: 3.5 Adjusted white balance and exposure value in photoshop Comments I love the purple sky! You caught an amazing moment
 .--   Did you want to participate in Project Holiday Feature??? Look at this News Article for more info! [link]  wow!!! wow!!!
 Great capture of the lightning, and the purple sky, with clouds really add to the overall look, and mood.
I would have personally preferred to see a more dynamic approach to the silhouetted trees at the bottom of the frame. They're doesn't seem to be enough of it showing to be worth including, and look a little straight, and flat. Great capture of the lightning though! -- Philip Stewart Scotland, UK >>  << That's an amazing capture!
-- My club- ~Photography-Frenzy you should join it  Want to be featured? send me a note with a link to your deviation! Want to enter a contest? Click [link]  Thanks so much! I definitely agree with what you were saying about the trees. It almost gives it a two dimensional feel with the way I have it now, but there were a couple reasons I shot it this way. For one I had to shoot over a line of trees and didn't have too many other options. Also this was my first real attempt at shooting lightning, so now I know more of what to look for when I set up the shot
 Thanks for the thoughts, I shall definitely take keep them in mind for next time  -- c = the S p e e d of Light faster than c = Time Travel FasterThanChris = My Gallery |
