Photo with high voltage, perfect Mike
Beautiful there… amazing shot! Yes, luck you need to capture it, and not to be hit ;-)
Thanks Brian and Lauren I am flattered but I do enjoy lightning photography. In all honesty there is a lot of luck but you need to set the camera correctly and point it in the right direction with the correct lens focal length.
What a phenomenal shot, Mike! This is something you’d see on a poster or postcard, it’s that gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
WOW!!! Great shot Mike, extremely intense. It appears that you were very close to this strike, again, WOW!!!
