hehe well consider the amount of thunders btw mid May and mid June I had some luck yeah, but yet unlucky 'cuz during 9th June we had sush great thunder going over us one close lightning striked down in our neighbours antenna and destroyed all their electronics, whereof we got affected a little too of it and reached to destroy our microwave, kitchentelephone, internet/phone connections and a lamp in the kitchen
So getting things destroyed are less fun x:
Thanks a lot 4 the comment anyway !

Wish it were 1920X1080 for a Blackbox theme, with your permission of course...

The resolution of it is uneven and turns out in 1920x1053 instead of 1080 .
So i dunno if that makes it ok Some sharpness get lost while it get stretched a little

Wow. I always thought lightnings are always blue-violet, and yellow lightning only exist in Pokemon. I suppose nature really is very creative with colors.

DaXXe In reply to RadenWA [2011-07-07 01:02:27 +0000 UTC]
I made some HDR and colour edits as i wrote in the description so this unedited lightningpicture are more yellow/orange while natural in ISO 200 :]
HOWEVER, your'e totally correct about lightnings coming out more blue-violet most of the times, 'cuz when i had ISO 100 in the beginning of my first shots, it camed out much darker and lightnings blue instead. When i afterwards arised it to ISO 200, the lightning turned more yellow and stronger :] Mostly depending on the technique, hehe

RadenWA In reply to DaXXe [2011-07-07 08:12:20 +0000 UTC]
So it's the same lightning with different capturing technique? Wow, nature is so hard to comprehend! And it's awesome because of that!

yeah, so depending on the technique and settings u have on the camera, colours might differ
