Lightning!
 

Hey all,

We had some thunderstorms this weekend, and while I was trying to get the settings on my camera right, look what I got!

Nice photo!

WOW that's a keeper!

awesome that needs to be in a contest

I love it!! Love the streamer coming up from the bottom on the right side, that is cool!! Science in action.

WOW! That's really cool!

wow man thats awesome!!!! love that lightning.

that is AMAZING!!!

One of the coolest pictures I've ever seen :nice:

An awesome lightning capture.

very cool!

I just made that my desktop, very cool.

Very cool! I'm wondering if the blue bolt on the right isnt' an internal reflection (upside down) of the main bolt, and not a streamer.
the top looks an awful lot like the bottom fork at the tree-tops. Just a reflection off the lense maybe? I could be wrong though, I'm no scientist.

No matter what, its a really cool picture.

Now I wish I had had my camera last night coming home from a late night at work, looking at the lunar eclipse.

That is true, but I would think if it were a lens reflection, it would have the branches coming off the main bolt too. It does look very similar though...

:dunno: I had a UV filter on the lens to protect the glass from the rain. Maybe it's reflecting back on that?:dunno: I don't seem to remember seeing the blue bolt when I took the photo, but I was looking at the bolt in the sky

That looks like something out of one of MMO video games:metal:

Pretty cool stuff.

Awesome shot, thats a almost once in a life time capture. I've never been able to get lightning on my D50, I think mainly because I've only tried doing it hand held while looking through the viewfinder. Next good storm im setting up the tri-pod and using wireless remote.

That's exactly what i did with my D50 to get this one!

wow. Lightning is a lot scarier on camera! Yikes!!

That is one amazing pic. You couldn't have timed it any better!
