I took this photo while in Daytona Beach back in June during a thunderstorm.

Canon Rebel XSi on a tripod, 8 sec exposure. Adjusted contrast / saturation a bit.

 

wow that is incredible!!! :O

 

What an amazing shot!

 

That's sweet. Think I could nab a full-sized image? I'd like to add it to my collection. Here's one I took in a 4-shot burst.

 

i love lightning photography

 

wow nice shot..

 

awesome!

 

i have got to try this... what was your setup? remote trigger?

 

SICK.... looks like some kinda anime combo weapon

 

No, I was using the 2 second timer... which sucked cause on many occasions a lightning would hit while the timer was on. A remote would have been perfect, maybe I should invest on one

I'll shoot you a PM later with a higher-res photo.

Thanks for the comments guys

 

Awesome pic dude!!!!

My first lightning shot..

Can I get a high res version for myself? Props man, beautiful photo!
