Wow! Impressive! It seems that you caught a rainbow in same time than the lightning!!! A magistral management of light! The POV, from the garden with the swing, is excellent, because it looks so innocent, to face the menace! Beautiful colors and a strong mood! Splendid! Congratulations!
Regards
Marine

Gonçalo,
outra obra de arte. Aqui as cores e a beleza da mostra desse céu maravilhoso com o relâmpago ficou excelente.
O parquinho infantil a esquerda também deu um atrativo a mais a foto.
Grande abraço.
Wagner.

Ola Goncalo,
c'est toujours impressionnant un éclair, surtout quand on en connait bien les effets dévastateurs. Une photo avec des lumières glauques et électriques rendant bien l'atmosphère inquiétante de l'orage.
Amitié.
Daniel.

Olá Gonçalo,

Usas-te o disparador, certo. A espera para apanhar um raio valeu. A composição ficou muito bonita com cores quentes.O raio da~-lhe aquele toque artístico. Parabéns.
nota: fotografaste tudo com 800 ou foi com o 800 que resultou melhor.O iso estava em automático?
Um abraço,
Filipe

Hi Gonçalo.

The composition is good, but the light is what makes the difference. This shot is simpl impressive.

Well done.

Olà Goncalo
Very interesting subject and it's not very simple to make this kind of picture.
Impossible fore me to make from my windows because of the town lights pollution.
Best regards

Kielia (8675) 2009-08-23 8:43

Hi Goncalo,
excellent capture of the lightning! I like how the light is illuminating the scene. And thanks for the photos in WS, this natural phenomenon is really fascinating. TFS!
Warm regards

Greetings dear Goncalo!

It has been awhile.

That is so cool that you were able to capture a lightning bolt on 'film' like this! Spectacular!

What's more amazing is that everything from fore to background is perfectly in focus. The lighting is splendid. I must ask: Did you add color to this image? The hues are tripping me out! I can't believe the sky was really that purple, and that orange, and the house was really that brightly lit, and the grass was that green in the back but that brown in the front??! What's your secret? ;)

Seriously, this is really well done. I love it!

Warm regards from California,

Rachel

Olà Goncalo,

a nice storm scene, the night and the absence of people add mistery to that light

Hello Goncalo,
this is a very impressive night shot with the vivid flash of lightning in the background. As I do use the same camera, I was very glad about your detailed photo infos. Great photo job with incedible management of light. ISO 800 and 72,10 sec., but the picture is almost noiseless.
Best wishes,
Helmut
