Lightning at the Rocks

Lightning at the Rocks

Canon 50D + Sigma 10-20mm
2 second exposure @ f16
Contrast, Darks and Saturation adjusted in Adobe Lightroom

Everyone has been posting cool shots from the storms the other night, well then i may as well post my take.

I bumped into Mr John Conway while at the dog rocks, and we both fired off a few shots and packed up before we got zapped. Out in a field with a tripod when the lightning seems to be getting closer? Yeah, i didn’t want to stick around much longer.

Thanks for looking

    Beautiful shot – those little metal tripods make great lightning conductors – they just scream out “hit me”. But it was all worthwhile … and you survived!

    what a cracker Luka! funny, never really thought of lightning in B/W, but its works out extremely well.

    and by the way, you only left because I told you it was getting closer, but I only said that because you were getting better shots than me. :)

    Works very well in black and white Luka. The cloud is absolutely magnificent and love the way the lightning just arches out from beneath it
