[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here is my first attempt on a lightning. The camera was shaky because I don't own a tripod yet and it was raining as well.

I worked on the colors, sharpened the image and resized and here is the result.

If you could give me any advice on how to take lightning pictures please do share I'll appreciate it or what I should do to make this picture better. If you also feel the need to do a workshop on please do!

Hello Leonie,
Sometimes it pays off to be a bit shaky!
Here you get an effect that in my opinion actually is pleasant with three images on top of each others...
I notice something that looks like a fire, did the lightning really cause this..? If so I have to add... moment well captured!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Excellent first shot! I tried to take lightening the other night and by the time I saaw the flash, clicked the button....waited for the freekin camera to click, the lightening was LONG gone. So you did great!

Αν και κουνημένη την βρίσκω αρκετά καλή για πρώτη φορά. :)

For a start the result was leap and bounds, well done. Out of the shake image you created a real art on it. My tip always shoot on very slow shutter speed and supported by a tripod or any stable platform. Congratulations and cheers.

Καλή η πρώτη σου προσπάθεια να φωτογραφίσεις κεραυνό, συνέχισε όπως τα είπαμε και θα τα καταφέρεις καλύτερα.

Bonsoir.
Bravo pour cette superbe image d'un éclair.
L'image est un peu flou mais la réalisation est pas évidente, ca mérite quand même un petit bonhomme vert.

Hi Leonie,
for your first attemp to photography a lightning it looks very nice.

To make you photos better you need a tripod. Your focal length sould be (with you lens) at 18mm to capture a big part of the heaven. The ISO should be
