[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It wasn't raining but there was lightning in the sky in the distance, so I set up my camera and took long exposures hoping to catch lightning. Took me 30 mins to capture 5 with lightning in it. This one is my favourite because the lightning sorta curls near the top.

Hello Dave, welcome to Treklens. this is a great photo! I guess sure you spend lots of time and shots to get this superb lightning captured and share with us here! Keep on the hardwork. i Would like to see more of your photos here. Hehe... I like this photo and hope you like it too.

Beautiful capture, Dave, and welcome to Trek lens. Little or no noise, great composition and saturation. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Wowwww!
Je n'ai jamais réussi à prendre un éclair en photo.
Celui-ci est plutot réussi.
Juste un petit point faible à cette photo qui peut être très facilement corrigé: la ligne d'horizon donne l'impression de ne pas etre tout à fait l'horizontale. (mais c'est vraiment minime)
Très bon travail !
bravo

Hey, Ah Thong! That's stealing my line!

Nice pic Dave. The F8 is the correct aperture size! See how sharp everything (well.. almost) is! Great job and keep on posting

Nice catch Dave. I haven't tried this but I am sure it is difficult.

Great use of complimentary colors...I like it

Hello Dave,
Welcome to Treklens. I've tried capturing lighting before but I was never successful. You did a great job. This has a nice composition. TFS. I hope you see more of your work here. Regards.
