 I think I got all four elements here in one shot, although the rain doesn't show in the photo.

Have not so much experience in lightning shots, and now I am on my way out the door - no more time for editing!

Lens correction, levels, slight color balance. Hard to get contrast and sharpness at the same time! At least with my poor editing skills :-)

This is a nice shot of lightning, I have yet to capture one of these!


I did not do that many shots like these either. It did take a lot of attempts, as there were long time between the lightnings. I am fast, but I cannot press the shutter release before lightning strikes!

Nice capture of lightning. I love the sky color too. The city below seems a bit flat.
