Lightning storm as seen from my bedroom window. I'm not a fan of electrical storms, having had a very bad experience as a teenager in a storm. However, the sheer excitement of trying to catch a lightning strike may change my habits during these storms.
Shot in Raw using bulb shutter and remote. Cropped, adjusted WB and contrast. Adjusted hue/saturation, curves, levels. Resize, USM, save for web.

Pretty hard to get those things on camera but I have seen so many better lighting shots. Great idea though but just not as cool as other lighting shots I have seen, including here at DPC. 6 from me though.
Nice shot (and great subject, obviously), and I know this would be next to impossible to correct or make better, but to me it almost looks like it was taken out of a garage door. Still is good for a 6 in my book.
