Sara W- Lightning

The title of the image is called Lightning. I took this picture in the target parking lot in hoover sometime in July. I took this picture with a nikon DS4 with a tripod. I didn’t need to edit this photo because it was dark outside and I didn’t want to make the lightning look unrealistic. I think the picture is kind of blurry and I feel like if i secured it better on the tripod it would have been a lot better.

This type of shot is quite unique and very hard to compose. I give major props to you for this type of shot. The lightning looks incredible with a great contrast in the sky. Overall great shot!

This is one of the better photos I've seen. I like the lighting in this pic. It is not to dark where the only thing you see. But the pic is not so bright where the hill and clouds draw away from the bolt. in my opinion it is a 9.75/10.

This photo is really good. It is very difficult to take a picture of lightning in action, especially crystal clear. The contrast with the light from the lightning and the night sky is great. The photo turned out really well!

I love this picture! The quality is a amazing!! the fact that you managed to capture this even is incredible. I love the tendrils of lightning coming off of the original strike. The mood created from this scene is really cool! Great Job!

I love this picture, and it sure must have been tough to get this shot. The picture has great exposure for this subject, I like the color being dark and electrifying. I would definitely frame this and put it on my wall.

The exposure in this photo is perfect! I find it amazing how you were able to take this shot. In my opinion I find it very hard to take photos with low exposure and with a tripod. The photo is not blurry at all in my opinion, you did a great job. Grace H-HHS

I love this shot! Lightning is always a hard picture to capture because you have to get it at the exact moment or else you miss the entire shot completely... The exposure and darkness of it goes really well with the stormy background and I like how the lightning sort of lights up the sky and creates the shadows of the trees. The only things I would change is cropping a little bit from the top because of the empty sky there and cropping a little bit from the right so you don't have the edges of trees (I think) just sticking out. Great picture though!!

This picture is deep. Like super deep. I've always wanted to try this but I'm lazy. I'm amazed by how this turned out. I love the lighting and everything. The only thing that is off is the non straight cloud but I know you can't control that. Overall, amazing shot. Looks professional.

I love this! The focus is great. The lightning is such a sharp focus. The dark and light areas ware managed perfectly. The lighting which is the light area balances out all the darkness. I get a dark vibe from this image. It makes me want to be cuddled up in a blanket with the lights off watching a movie while listening to the storm. I love this.

Very Cool! Its neat how you perfectly captured the lightning bolt. I really like how the dark the background is. You used the rule of thirds here and it makes the picture more interesting. I think the mood of this picture is exactly what you intended on when taking the picture.

I like the lighting of this photo, how everything is pretty much dark, but the flash of lightning lights up areas of the picture. I think this picture is well balanced with the trees visible and the clouds. i really like this picture i think you did a great job capturing the lightning.

This is an interesting Image because it's really hard to catch a lightning bolt and take a picture.
