Hi Mark - that is an amazing image. Well done - the lightning is so crisp.

Excellent shot Mark - but what are you doing up at 3am on a Thursday ???

Excellent photo mate!
Wish I could be so lucky to capture such beauty...

Cheers

There is a fairly substantial amount of the 'WOW factor' in that shot. The colours are fantastic, the lighting is 'electric.' i really like this one.

Great image.

Just one word - BRILLIANT!

Oh-My-God

stunning mate, just stunning..

two thumbs up!!! that's a cracker... nicely done.

cheers

Awe-inspiring stuff, the lighting, the clouds, the atmosphere... this is brilliant stuff, definitely frame it... I'd consider selling it even.

that truely is an absolute stella shot! i love it!

Excellent - picture.

Love the colours and the contrasts.

Well done. Congrats.

this is an excellent image.

echo everything that has already been said about it.

Not convinced the large black frame it the best way to exhibit it though.

*laughs* I'm always up at 3am. I dont emerge from my darkened bedroom til at least 10am most days. This storm was just coming over Brissy as I was cleaning up before bed and rather than hit the sack I chased this storm till 7am. I have a few more shots of it at the new gallery

Thanks for all the wonderful comments everyone!

Mark

Some great shots here Mark, well done!

I really like the way that it has lit up the really thick dense clouds to the left. Nice photo!

Mark, I can say but two things...
Bloody Brilliant !!!!

An arresting and dramatic shot!

Mark
A stunning photograph! What you have captured will last for ever...but the moment itself was gone in 1/10,000 of a sec. Such is the power of photography.

You have to love how sharp the lightning is but also how much it illuminated the clouds!

Great work!

Probably the best Lightning Shot I have ever seen

Colour / Well Composed / Well exposed.

Simply amazing image that is worth getting paid for & published.

Well done Mark.

Mic.

Well done!!

Missed this when it was first posted.

Incredible image.

Thanks for all the great coments!

I've uploaded it as a rights managed image to fotolibra in the hope that some publisher might pay to use it. I'll update if I get any sales

Also planning to get a print made on Thursday at digilab. Cant wait to hang this on the wall at home.
