I realize it's crooked.....I tried to straighten it, but after cropping I felt it left out too much detail

Dude. Just for getting lightning in an HDR Im giving this a 10, not only are lightning shots hard to make, you captured them with high dynamic range. Props.

I've never been able to take a shot of a lightning, and the HDR effect is almost perfect for my taste. Very good.

what a great shot, and in HDR too! How did you manage that? Did you use a single RAW image or several?
Although I think the lightning is cool compositionally it doesn't work for me.

How could you make a lightning shot in hdr !? The bracketing is during at least more than 1 second ?
PhotoBal (58 months ago | reply)
Very nice capture. I've never been able to get a good shot and your's is excellent.

Fantastic shot!!!!!! worked in Philly many years, this is about the most attractive area of center city. But, you have taken it to a whole new level.My first thought was , this looks like a French Impressionist painting. Beautiful job. Thanx!!!!
