Just beautiful, Robert!!! #788618Marcie A. Fowler September 18, 2004
Fabulous. Not a big fan of lightning but love the way you capture it. A couple years ago we had a local teenager get hit by lightning, in the winter no less. He survived but there are still a lot of things that he can't do. Your images convey they power of lightning very well! #788621Terri L. Scribner September 18, 2004
Absolutely beautiful, Robert!!! The strike against blue is great! #788703Allan L. Whitehead September 18, 2004
"Lightning Man" strikes again, eh… Magnificent, Robert, I love the colors, and the over-a;; scenic imagry. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind, that we'll be seeing this again, and a couple of times, in a month or so. Very well done, my dear friend - your dear friend, Allan #788713Debra Booth September 18, 2004
Fantastic shot, Robert! Love the color in that sky! #788718Jill Battaglia September 18, 2004
Excellent capture! A well composed scene as well which isn't easy since you can't predict exactly where the lightning will strike. #788770

I wish to thank everyone,for your wonderful comments.I've been out of town for a couple of days,and this is the first I've heard of my POTD. #888863Tony Wilder February 05, 2008
even at f100- I still cant believe this turned out. F5.6 to boot. I woul dshoot it at f19 or f22 at iso 50 and even then I am not sure the bolt would show up so well, but I KNOW the lit background would still be blown out. Specially at 10 seconds. Very impressive. Daytime and twilight lightnign is so hard, well done here and congrats! #5445768Tammy Espino May 15, 2008
LOL WOW 04!! I was going to say I never saw this one before, I guess because I wasn't around until last year in May..Awesome!! :) #5926038Robert R. Goodman May 15, 2008
