Thanks. I would have liked a stronger foreground but we are talking about shooting in the everglades were there are not many good foregrounds.

So you think I made the most out of the tufts of weed on the right? :-)

A couple of weeks ago we had a light show over the Everglades as a storm rolled in. This time I was in almost the right place.

This is a 30 second exposure when one hope there will be a lightening strike when the shutter is open.
This time Fate was smiling on me :-)

Thanks for looking.

What an awesome photo!

WOW - what an excellent capture. Lady luck on your side, I think.

The things I liked most are the cloud detail with all the finer fingers of lightening and the sea of grass which anchors the shot and makes it all very real.

Terrific capture Larry, beautiful cloud formation.

I can feel the power in this storm!! No luck here. You worked hard to get this picture!

Wonderful shot! It's all in the clouds anyway, no need for more foreground. Did you use any filters, like ND or polarizer?

Beautiful lightning bolts--and a nice photo, too.
