    Excellent – The lightning is perfectly positioned and the light on the cloud is just lovely. This image is great as it is but have you considered cropping the sky down a bit to turn this into a panorama?

    You have an amazing ability to catch these storms in all of their glory! Such beauty in all of them! I love how the cloud in this one is lit up too, very striking against the dark sky.

    THIS IS AN AWESOME SHOT AND REALLY SHOWS THE ENORMASNESS OF A THUNDERHEAD AND THE LIGHTNING. HAVE YOU TRIED A VERTICLE CROP JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE MAIN THUNDERHEAD AND JUST TO THE RIGHT OF THE SMALLER THUNDERHEAD AND LEAVING OUT THAT BRIGHT LIGHT. I COVERED MY SCREEN WITH A NOTE PAD ON EITHER SIDE LIKE THAT AND IT REALLY BRINGS EMPHASIS ON THE LIGHTNING BOLT OVER THE MARINA. BUT, YES, YOU DO EXCELLENT WORK, I JUST WISH WE HAD MORE STORMS LIKE THIS IN CALIFORNIA. WE ONLY GET THEM IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE STATE ABOUT ONCE EVERY 4 OR 5 YEARS. WHEN I LIVED IN HOUSTON WE HAD THEM ALL SUMMER LONG, BUT I WAS TO BUSY BEING MARRIED AT THAT TIME TO CHASE LIGHTNING BOLTS. I WISH I HAD TAKEN THE PHOTOS INSTEAD. BOB

    Some wonderful shots of lightning and storms. The formation and colour of the thunder head is what does it for me in the shot.

  • drec replied

    This started of as a day time chase that disappeared out to sea, only to return at sunset. So in between I shot some clouds, a few surfers and a bit of lightning on my way home. A rewarding day.

    What sort of camera settings did you use for this one?

  • drec replied

    Lens at 18mm, iso 100 and 20 seconds @ f5.6. By the looks at my file in lightroom I edited this before I calibrated my monitor – seems little darker then Marina Mirage

    That’s such a good shot, Drec. I’ll have to get some tutoring on lightning shots. I’ve got a couple, which I’ll upload, but I seem to miss the best shots. We get a grandstand view from up here during the storms.:)

  • drec replied

    You’re lucky with your view. I was carless last season so I chased these riding my bicycle, good way to try and keep fit. The wheels are back on the road so I’ll be chasing a little further this year.
