Great colors. Like the flare also. Nice lightning too. Hard to catch.

**ToddK** · 12-28-2018, 06:39 PM

A perfect capture! I really like that the entire bolt is in the sky.

Thanks all.
Grateful to have had the chance to capture this scene, just outside the workplace one evening.

I like the fact that you photographed this in real 'normal' neighborhood which contrast nicely with the spectacle in the air.

Thanks. It was just opposite the rural hospital where I worked over the Christmas/New Year.
Not much else to the old town...

Yes, the colors are great !

This is one exposure ?!!

**Ash** · 10-12-2019, 11:30 PM

Indeed. I kept snapping 6-7 sec exposures until I got the effect I was after.
