Thank you for posting my photograph. I am honored to be among the other fantastic photographs. Lightning photography is the most ellusive yet rewarding of all. Only requiring lots of luck and timing, knowing when to run for cover is a plus. My photo was taken on a private pier on the Eastern shore of Mobile Bay. The storm was on the Northwest side of Mobile, Alabama. I was around 6 miles from the city of Mobile. The wind was blowing so hard that the pier was moving and the buildings show signs of motion blur. I thoroughly enjoyed Nature’s show. Thanks again.

Prvinska sila narave. Fotografirati svetlobo strele in njeno razvejano pot po nebu je izziv, ob katerem fotograf tehta ali pocakati in ujeti ta edinstven trenutek ali pa zbežati, ker ga je strah. Lep izbor. Iva’s last blog post..Far away Translation: Primal nature force. Photographing the light of the lightning and its branched out path on the sky is a challenge at which the photographer must decide whether to wait and capture this unique moment or run away because he's afraid. Nice selection.

My favorites are the 2nd and 3d ones. Wow. They’re amazing. How do you even capture that on a camera? You must be very lucky…and have a very good camera. The odds of being struck surprise me…1 in 3000? Seems a bit low. Great post, I enjoyed the facts!

These are cool. It is very hard to get a shot of lighting like that. It’s storming right above me now, so what a great time to end up looking at your post.

I got a chance to see lightning from the air once. I was flying over the southwestern US on a cross-country flight and our pilot skirted around a huge severe storm. We had some turbulence from the storm, but it was amazing to see the clouds light up and the bolts of lighting from a bird’s eye vantage point. I was glad when we flew away from the storm, but I wish I’d had a camera that day!
