out of danger !

This composition came to fruition around midnight in the middle of nowhere in western NSW. I originally conceived the idea and how it would look and work many years prior but had not much success til this night.

enjoy :)

    This is one hell of a photo. I can’t begin to imagine how much patients vs luck it would have taken to have gotten both the lightning and vehicle lights in the right place at the right time.

    (That is of course I’m assuming wrong and this has been fixed in PS?)

    Fantastic any way it was created. =D

    a Big thanks to everyones recent comments on this photograph !

    It is certainly a legitamte photograph..shot on Velvia 50 in fact. I had this composition in mind for over 10yrs believe it or not…. It finally came together this particular evening around 1am in outback NSW of all places – (think of the likelyhood of getting a roadtrain with a bolt together out there…! )

    Mate, you really have some magnificent work to display! love it. I think this one takes the cake though. Its almost like the bolt of lightning spawn some crazy time machine like the delorian from back to the future. Reminds of one of my images…
