[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another lightning shot. By this time, you would ask if I could do nothing else, but capturing lightning.
Well, this is so exciting, that I cannot resist the weather.I posted this one cause this is not very often that one see lightning, that plays horizontal in the sky.
Most of the time, I captures the lightning with one big streak of light, coming down to earth.This one ignited in the middle, and spreaded out to both sides, with nothing down to earth.
I used a tripod, and the roof of my home for a shelter, cause the wind was very strong, and it carried fine drops of rain.
I did not have to use a ss of more than 30s, due to the fact that the lightning was very active, and I knew that I will get one before the storm calms down.
Thanks for vieving my hoto, and you are welcome to post any crit or comment on this one.
cheers

Me parece alucinante pillar algo así, seguramente estaba como un niño con un caramelo, degustando cada segundo hasta que consigue capturarla. Es impresionante.

Wow that lightning is very sharp. Well done! I struggle to capture lightning so sharp. Excellent compisition you ended up with there as well. GREAT JOB!
