You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Tom I have never gotten an image of a lightning strike that was worth keeping. This one is not only a keeper but an image that deserves a 10, if I had it in my Voting Booth.

lightning always amazes me, and I'm always glad to watch a good lightning storm, but where I live there aren't many of those, so thanks for sharing this incredible shot, it does deserve a 10!

This is the kind of shot I was trying for the entire last summer! I'm am turning sooooo GREEN! This is a killer shot and I'd give anything to emulate it. How did you do it? Extra long exposure? Fast exposure and good reflexes? This shot is going to get a ten if I get it in the booth. It deserves it. :-)

Incredible capture Tom. The layering is what makes this image stand out to me. Is it a recent storm?

Saw this in the VB. The man with the flaming head caught my attention with this Marvel. One of ... IF NOT ... the best lightening captures I've had the priviledge to view. Truly great photography. The low level clouds between lens and bolt adds to it being extraordinary in my opinion.

I am glad to admire your powerful photo from a distance, sitting in front of my computer, feeling warm and cosy, lol. This truly is an extraordinary capture. Would you be so kind and teach us about your camera settings once you took the photo? What a stunner!
