God #1: “Damn! Missed that sucker again!”

Thanks. It was 200-speed film, f8-f16, camera held against a window with the shutter open for maybe 20-30 seconds. It was easy to anticipate lightning that night. Most of the pics had blurred features from my moving the camera. I cropped the sharpest part of this image and ran it through Neat Image to reduce grain.

On a recent to California, the flight I was on flew over a storm. Amazing scene, wathcing earthly (sorry, NOT heavenly) fireworks from above/side.

telephoto or wide-angle?
August 13th, 2005 at 3:45 pm
It was a 50mm (on a 35mm camera). But this image is cropped to a fraction of its full size.
I’ll probably eventually post on my photoblog a full-frame version of one of the other pics from that night.
