Midnight Light Scorched Earth

      First off... look! Actual titles! Yeah... I got tired of showing people these pictures and having them go, so... what's the name? And then feeling like I was horridly uncreative about it. Fact of the mater was... yeah, I was uncreative. For those who don't know, the previous pictures were called Midnight Light - Part [2-4]

      Anyhow, this shot was taken at the same place/night that Mountian Strike and Triplets were. It really was an awesome storm. Cool thing about this shot was that it was a series of about 5 lightning strikes in the same place in rapid succession (say, less than a second apart for all five), which created this awesome light at the base of it, and everywhere else. This was one of the coolest strikes of the night, the more-so cool ones, I didn't catch... though maybe ~sqiggles did... he just hasn't developed his film yet :roll:.

      Edited for contrast, levels, and curves. I made it dark and cooler. Was tempted to brush out the light post and/or crop it, but in the end... found this just had an awesome perspective.

Nice shot! please use a F/5.0 or more for this lightnings, you will get better results =)

I've actually tried higher F stops, but really prefer the contrast and extreme brightness of the lightning at 2.8. It's not that it looked bad, I just was aiming for this style more so. That, and I did post-editing to further enhance the effect. Thanks for the suggestion anyhow. :)

lol ok, if you like it in that way, do it :highfive:
:iconpeaches-n-poofs:
Yeah, I'd say so. I love what you can see in the valley and the reflection is just amazing. I think that lamp-post thingy needs to go though, but overall, I love this one too. Almost reminds me of greek mythology....don't ask why.
