Urban Storm

Love your sense of humour!

cool shot!

Thanks Nicole

Great control Paul, I know from experience its hard to get the balance between blowing out the exposure on the buildings and waiting long enough to capture (2) strikes on one frame. Superb

Hey Michael – I took buckets of photos that night – only this one really captured it. I was so impressed!

I’m impressed too. That takes takes talent…this is really cool

Absolutely fantastic capture!!!

Thank you Gayle

How beautiful! (Thanks for your comment)

Wonderful capture. Sky and bolt are well captured and exposed. Citiscape complement the comp, and adds to the dark and stormy night. I don’t know if you shoot in raw, but if so, by selecting the buildings and then adjust levels on them, the details in the dark shadows will pop out. Image will have an even more striking effect. ( I guess strikink is the leading word here :-)

Great lightning bolts…and simply EXCELLENCE in photography!

Thank you Ellen, Eyal and Michael. Eyal, I do shoot in Raw mode so I will try what you are suggesting. I really appreciate the detail you have replied with.
