How's this? Part II

All,

Sorry, once again for the off-topic nature of this post, but, I thought it'd make a nice adjunct for my last thread which garnered a bit of interest.

Awesome shot Humayun! I bet the people under that ground strike have already called their insurance companies to get new computers, plasma tellies, scanners and so on! I also bet that they've called their dry cleaners.

I had lightning strike the tree next door one evening a while back - the room I was in would have been about 15m from the strike. It was brown undies time. The strike killed the tree outright - and it was a BIG tree. The next morning there were shards of the tree all over my yard...everywhere. What an amazing force of nature lightning is.

wow thats a huge area of impact :O!

Probably should link to the source, too, H.

I wonder how much of that is over exposed - i'm sure the lightning strike wasn't *that* wide. :)

[lacad01]

Amazing nevertheless. I wouldn't worry too much about the "off topic" disclosure also :)

[vindictive666]

i concur :)

What a picture :eyepop: Ye olde camera-person was game. Not all that far from the strike in lightning terms and on much higher ground.

Anyway they got away unscathed and with a rip snorter photo as well ... its quite something else.

:thanx: H

Mike,

I got linked just the image on IRC with no source. The rest of the page is probably on Panoramio somewhere.

I agree, there's no way the lightning would have been that wide. Still, it makes for an interesting image, nonetheless.

That is one impressive Tesla ring!

Still an awsome shot!:thumbsup:

Cheers Daniel.

awesome, but that would be a gross overexposure. Lightning is generally only the width of a pencil, it's only the extreme brightness that makes it appear thick on images.
