این از آن نوع عکسهایی است که بیشتر به شانس بستگی دارد تا مهارت در عکاسی مربوط به چند سال پیش است حاصل حدود نیم ساعت و از میان نزدیک به ۴۰ عکسی انتخاب شده است که به طور مداوم در طی طوفان گرفتم تکنیک خاصی ندارد شاتر را بازگذاشتم و منتظر معجزه طبیعت

شکست نفسی می کنید . تا حس هنری وجود نداشته باشد چنین عکسی بوجود نمی آید
به امید دیدن هنرمندیهای بیشتر

Great shot

The angle it was taken from makes it look like the lighting bolts are 'ointing' at me...

I wish I could say something more constructive about it, but since I never tried to take this kind of pictures I really can't say anything about the technique... however: there is a small black dot in the middle (probably some desperate bird) that could be cloned-out to make it look cleaner.

Also - was this taken through the window? On closer inspection, I think I can see some reflections of a room/door/something.

I haven't seen any real storms for ages, I miss them

Thanks for the comment, It was taken through windows (because of wind and rain). I was in a hurry to shot because I lost a lot of time and the storm was passing.

Très belle prise, ça devait tomber à moins de 300m ! Tu aurais du effacer la petite tâche.

Nice job
