Description
Midnight Light SeparationA follow up to Midnight Light , taken on the same night. Though I do have about 30 shots of this storm, it made me realize more than ever that I could use a tripod
. Lots of the shots are blurry, or off-center and just generally not what I was hoping for. True in the fact that when you take photos you can only expect to get a few good ones, but I feel that the shots could have been a lot better. So! I plan on investing in a tripod here fairly soon, and then we'll see how it turns out when the next storm rolls around.Photo has been modified for color saturation, contrast, and levels. Some extra lights put off by Hill Air Force Base have been brushed out as they were all sqiggley (remember, no tripod) and generally detracted from the overall shot. Other than that, nothing was changed.

The entire series from this storm is absolutely spectacular but I think this is the ultimate one for me. Beautiful. I wish we had more storms like that around my neck of the woods.

I've actually shot 3 different storms, the shots I have on here are from two of those. "Midnight Light " and this one from the first, while "Mountian Strike ," "Triplets ," and "Scorched Earth " are from the third storm. I really enjoy the storms we get around here, but they're rather rare. One of these days I'm thinking about going down to Texas, I hear they've got some amazing storms down there.

I like the almost panoramic view of this. It's quite lovely. I'd like to see more sillouhettes (is that spelled right?), but I still love the picture. It's very interesting.

Yeah, didn't have much control over how this one turned out... no tripod. Didn't turn out quite how I had hoped, actually my least favorite of the five. But, ah well.

I know this isn't exactly an "advanced" critique, but I have to say, that is hands down the most incredible lightning pic I have ever seen. Excellent job.
