One exposure. 3 Second exposure. The lightning was really easy to time that night, it would flash and then a bolts would follow.

Daya,

Any version of Photoshop along with the corresponding edition of Scott Kelby's "the Photoshop CS# book" books would help alot. They're so easy to learn from. Helped me get alot more out of my version of CS1 lol

Keith,

Beautiful! I love lightning shots.

Thank you Rodger. I will try to grab a copy and get started once i get PS installed.

I only suspected that because of all the detail in dim stuff... I would have thought that would have totally burned out the lightning... not that the bolt itself isn't maxed out, that's fine obviously, but you got those little tendrils coming off it. Nice.

Just like a true craftsman, to do what I *wish* I could do, then say it was easy [

Thanks Jon and Roger

I wish I could claim craftsmanship but it was literally like shooting fish in a barrel that night. That bolt was so massive it just lit up the area and froze everything. The rocks in the foreground are lit by a near by street light.

It was literally my first try at shooting lightning. I was actually hoping to catch it behind the bridge.

No comments, I guess nobody is interested.

Thanks Sinh. I was going for that bit of dreamy look. But you might be right. Everytime I look at those images now I wished I had focused in a bit more. Looking forward to posting on here more often.

I got a chance to captured this when I was at a friend's house. Interesting flower. I have no idea what it's called though. Anybody?
