Can you believe this wasn't even the closest bolt of the afternoon on 7/18/12? In fact, it didn't seem all the close at all considering how it turned out. Oh well. How well can you see the shape of the lightning itself? My laptop screen varies the brightness and sometimes it looks completely washed out and other times I can see a "fat" bolt with clear definition. Please let me know

Dear Hurricane--I see a monstorous, huge, fat bolt that makes me very glad I was 2000 miles away.

It's a great capture. I've tried photographing lightning and it's very difficult.

Take care and thank you for a great pix.

what was the wind speed at time of poto? looks like a couple of return strokes being blown from left to right due to wind.

Thank you for the feedback! This is actually a still image taken from a video clip, like all my lightning photos to date.
@okeedoky, the winds were relatively light actually so it may just be part of the actual bolt

About Hurricane765
Hurricane765 UPDATED 1/11/12: Hello fellow photography lovers from all four corners of the globe! I am a 22 year old weather and nature photographer currently attending The State University at Oneonta as a Meteorology Major. I have been shooting for three and a half years now and have made outstanding progress in my art through learning techniques, strategies, perspectives, and learning about photography as a whole. I was a photographer for the Oneonta newspaper "The State Times" last semester and plan to be one again in the spring. Also, for the month of January, I have a gallery of 24 of my photos on display at my local library. This sums me up in a nutshell so please, if you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or anything else, feel free to message me and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Until then, keep shooting! Sky Enjoy my photos? I have created a Facebook Page specifically for my photography called "Keep An Eye to the Sky". All of my pictures will be there, minus the GIFs unfortunately. Please feel free to become a fan and browse through my many photos from sunsets to birds to even lightning.
