Good gravy you caught a terrific lightning storm. Too bad I saw this image in TIME magazine a while back, almost thought it was yours for a minute. ; )

wow wonderful image!

I keep seeing all these great images on flickr that were taken with a d70 so i've decided to retire my old s5000 and upgrade to the D70s!

whoa - crazy.

i read in the news today about some guy in the UK who managed to capture a bolt on his camera right next door to his house... it blew him 20 feet into the air but still managed to capture a killer shot.

Fantastic. Love the colors. Great idea with the multiple layers.
I like the title too.
Well done.


I saw the comment from nice n smooth about a guy that got real close to a strike. I was pretty close in this shot.
