About A beautiful lightning storm just North of Edmonton. I was very lucky, I was just half asleep in my bed. I saw few flashes comming into my window. I looked up and saw lightning. I was soo tired, I couldn't decide to get up and capture them. As I love photography, I did get up and marched out to the country side. I was in luck! NO rain! Beautiful peaceful quiet night!

I added some slight color tone to my photo, just to kill that slight "brownish color" which I had.

Thanks!

I like the effect of the closest clouds. I would probably reduce the exposure on the landscape a bit more to take it closer to silhouette. Great shot. Worth a little postponed sleep.

James Cook,

Thanks for your response, I did not realize that my monitor brightness is a little too dark. Darn!

Then again... I like the Silos being slightly lit up by the lightnings. It's a tough call...

Fully silhouette the ground or not...

I would like others to comment on this.

Thanks

Ultimately patience gives the result.
No gain without pail.
Well done:) :) :)

hi Jay,

Very powerful photo, well captured. I love to get my hands on a thunderstorm moment at night, but I usually sleep right through them. Good catch!

Cheers,

Hugo

My monitor here at work is a bit darker too. My laptop shows the grass too clearly for my taste. I do like the idea of keeping the structures. No matter. It's still great.


Jay Sikstrom   {K:1800} 8/22/2006
Oh wow Hugo!

I feel honoured to have a comment from one of the top photographers here on usefilm. I really appreciate your comment. It really means much to me.

Thanks!

I know the feeling, busy or wiped out and here comes another chance. Do I gear up and go out or wait. Heck, I always go.

Nice job here, I really like the silhouette of the building, too. This is not easy photography as I'm sure you know. I have hundreds of shots, most useless.

Best wishes,
Dave
