    • Hi, I wrote to you back in May 2009. I'm coming back little longer than a year later to invite you to take a look at my first attempt to capture lightning bolts in the middle of the night. Please, click on the link below. I'll appreciate your comments very much. Thanks for your time. Jorge. This is the link: http://outdoors.webshots.com/album/577992026SGOKRW?vhost=outdoors

    • What a spectacular set of amazing shots! The only thing I'm sorry for is that I'm discovering these stunning pictures now. Well, it's never too late, isn't it? Thanks for sharing this gallery. I hope to catch a storm one day, out in the open, and try my hand at this. I'd love to do that. Warms greetings from Havana, Cuba, my friend.

    • album of georgieboy98
    • A VERY interesting album and I am so glad Webshots have chosen to feature it because it could well have lain unnoticed otherwise and that would have been such a shame. I did a double take of your rainbow - did you notice that the colours are reversed in the top one? No doubt there is a scientific reason for this. I imagine all - or most of - these shots were taken with a film camera because most digitals have at best a split second shutter lag which would make getting this type of shot well night impossible. I used to have - indeed probably still do - a magic eye slave attachment whereby any electrical discharge (say from a flash or whatever) would trigger the shutter instantly but I never thought to try it out on lightning. Seeing these shots may well have inspired me to dig out the old Nikon, lash out on some rolls of film and wait for the next storm to hit! Great work and warmest congratulations on being featured. Peter in Western Australia
