Lightning Bolt

Janet Fikar

Lightning Bolt

This shot was taken at the Broadmoor resort in Colorado Springs, CO. The most amazing electrical storm came through. It was quite a ways in the distance. The cloud coverage was interesting which sat low over our heads. Lightning flashed about every three seconds. It was truly spectacular. It never rained where I was standing. Noise Reduction software applied due to the high ISO setting. I put the camera on a tripod and kept clicking. The pool house was in the foreground and Cheyenne Mountain in the background.

    This is one of my favorites of yours. The lower dark area on the water does not steal away from the lightning above too. Excellent capture.

    great shot!! I shoot film so my lightning shooting is a bit trickier. I shoot 100 iso with a aperature around f13 depending on lighting in the whole frame. Then open the shutter for up to 25 seconds and hope a bolt comes. Great thing about lightning is, if it comes you can shut the shutter even after 5 sec because it is so bright. You did a wonderful job on this.
