This shot was taken last July during a summer lightning storm. I used av at f18 which gave me a 30 second exp. this is actually two bolts one occurred early in the exposure the second in the middle. Very minimal ps work since I am just learning PS. I am sure many of you could have post processed this much better than I. My best of 2006

WONDERFUL! I wish I could get luck to capture something like this...I have to add to faves so I remeber to check your score when it's all done! 10 from me!
The whole photo is sharp and brilliantly edged like the lightning - I think the bursts of light from the buildings and ships work very well. The masts in the foreground are a bit distracting - especially with the halos around them that must be either from sharpening or shadow/highlights or the like.
