The last severe thunderstorm to come by my home was quite severe. This lightning bolt hit about a mile away - the thunder that resulted set off car alarms and broke some windows in the area. I'm surprised my lens is still intact.
In search of haunting beauty...

I love how some of the lightning seems to mystically go through a tree
great capture
Nice! How did you catch it... long exp during an electrical storm?
Lightning shots have something magical, it's hard to explain.
Adnan - I took this shot by exposing each shot for five seconds. Each shot had some lightning bolts - then I shuffled through them and selected the ones which I liked.
Thanks for checking my site, my blog's title says "snippets of my life and issues of interest"... so occasionally I write about interesting points to ponder that occur in my life. I love writing.. it's the art that I try to perfect like you with your beautiful photography:). "a diary for the world to see" is that a bad thing?
Lightning is spectacular and you got a great shot. Keep posting the terrific pictures.
Aisha - I like your idea. "a diary for the world to see." How about "A Diary of the World as I see it." Or even "The World : As I see it."
I like the latter.
Great picture!
I could never photograph lightning. I used to set my camera to have the shutter permanently open on a dark night, then close them as soon as there was a bolt of lightning.
It never worked.
Here's the trick, keep your shutter open - exactly when the lightning hits, close the shutter. You might also want to shoot at f/13 or f/9 to make the image more defined.
