20 Fantastic Pictures of Lightning
June 05, 2009
A few days ago we had amazing post on long exposure pictures. That day, during my search for those picture, I ran into some pictures of lightning, and I realized that it would make a whole new set of fantastic pictures. And I was right. These are truly fantastic.
If you don't know how to take pictures of lightning, don't worry... it has to do with luck just a little bit. It's not about capturing a picture in the right moment, but using long exposure to collect any lightning that might happen during a lightning storm. Just set your camera to capture for some seconds (as you wish), point it to the storm, and shoot it. The chance to capture an awesome lightning bolt is enormous. Anyways, these is my selection! I hope you guys enjoy it and please, visit all these guys pages! Chees! ;)

Somes were too much 'PShopped but some were awsome and realistic (even with the effects given to the pic)

@ArnaudJolois Which ones are photoshopped?
That last picture was not taken by Paul Kim it was taken by Carlos Gutierrez
It is annoying when people steal great photos and put them on Flickr and pretend they took them

Thank you.
... Just ask next time ... BEFORE publishing and profiting from my hard work.
last one is the best pic! awesome
Great pictures. :)
How wonderful photos! Especially the one with the volcano! I have seen it in many magazines before!
Maybe you would like to see one of mine, too? =) Only 8sec exposure and I was so lucky to get a photo as great as this:

That last one is epic, absolutely unbelievable!
Allen Rockwell, don't be a douche, copyright is the scourge of the earth, its for RIAA and MPAA zealots and patent trolls, not creatives like yourselves. Just be happy for the free publicity, which you tainted by being a law hoore. It's not like they're selling large format prints or anything, they just showcased your work in admiration. Free the creativity, man.
@Josh TT. Screw your "free world shit"! When you'll invest time and money into something and someone steals it, you'll feel the same. And it's not the photographer gaining traffic and money from this post, it's this site. What Abduzeedo did it's just plain wrong. It's okay to steal from people like JoshTT, because there's nothing to steal, but creative professionals need to learn to use the law to protect their work.
Great!!! :)
These are REALLY cool.......
Man, I wish I were there :3
