[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It's been raining for past two days (and will continue) so I've figured it's right time to post this shot I took last summer from our balcony. It was stormy night so I took a tripod, pointed camera to an area with many lightenings, selected 15s exposure and hoped I will catch something. Among so many black photos, this beauty has appeared.
PP: original was more b/w so I enhanced the blu channel to make it look more "hollywood style".

Wonderful capture. Very sharp. I guess your patience has paid of. Good job on the pp work, it looks very natural. Good job.

Amazing effect you got by enhancing the blue channel. I mean, not just the dark blue background, but the glow around the lightning bolt. Not to mention the sheer luck of capturing such a dynamic composition. Well done.

great capture. like it. TFS

Great picture. Very sharp and good light. Regards, Yvonne

Hi Branka, prvo da pohvalim tu sliki . Ja sem pokušavao nekoliko puta ali mi to ne uspjeva. Odlična je.

Drugo , ona obrada mojih bitvi je bolja nego sam mislio. I ja sam razmišljao o vodoravnoj slici, ali je ispalo drugačije.
Tvoja je po mom mišljenju bolja. Hvala.
Marjan

This shot is hard make as it gets and it takes even a bit of luck. Great shot. Nice stormy mood.
congrats

I missed this one when you first published it because I was away on a short business trip but I wanted to get back to it because it is very well done; even maybe one of your best pictures. Nicely composed with great sharpness and so much details on the light. It is great that you focused only on the lightning and did not include any other elements in the picture. Excellent!
