Lightning

[Chris Southby]

Shot of lightning from a storm in Canberra last night. Its been cloudy here for so long with no chance of viewing the heavens at least storms provide a bit of fun.
Taken from under the front porch in the poring rain. Canon 350D, 18mm focal length, 1600 ISO, f 22 for 5 seconds hoping to catch lightning bolt by chance.

Nice, I like the comparison of the tree branch to the lightning strike.:thumbsup:

Thanks.
I didn't have any choice about the field of view, this was the only dry spot with any view of the storm. Lucky it turned out as good as it did.:)

Cheers,
