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.

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.

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

What a picture  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.

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.

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.
