I have tried lightning photography here in AZ, I know what you mean when it hits close, and all the way to the ground! But the risk paid off, this is an AMAZING shot! |

That's really a superb shot; I hadn't really had a close look at it before. I guess you're lucky (?) living in a lightning zone like that. |

That hit something! O my. Fun shot but not sure I could be that close to something like that. I freak out if I am outside during a storm. Anyway, congrats! |

What a tremendously gorgeous photo this is. I love the purple and the detailed branching visible on all the bolts.
50 ft away you say? Very lucky indeed! Good thing you were in your car! |

Thanks for all the kind comments and score. I'm so pleased to finally ribbon, especially with a lightning shot. It's tough on DPC with so many wonderful photographers. Thanks again. Maceo |

I understand that being in a car in a lightning storm is the safest place to be. Your tyres insulate you from the possibility of current passing through and earthing out of your body. But then again, it does look very much like a heck of a storm. I would have been concerned about blowing the circuits in the camera. |

Congrats on a fantastic capture! I wouldn't be too frightened - your chances of getting hit by one of those are about as slim as getting hit by... oh, wait... ;-) |

Excellent shot of lightning. I have picked this as top ten. Composition is good. Nice depth of field. It is good to see you didn't just open up the apeture wide and hope for a sharp photo. Good job. |
