    #1 is gotta be the best imo.

  13. first picture is shopped on said:

    Absolutely beautiful!

  15. Robert on said:

    Awesome collection, thanks for the find!

  16. kyle on said:

    none of the shots are shopped. a slow shutter speed is how you get pictures of lightning. what do you think hes testing his reflexes when he takes these shots? that would not be a smart thing to do.
    on a side not these photos are great, and if anyone wants to take their own pictures of lightning, buy a tripod, go out in a good storm, and set your shutter so it will close as soon as you let go of the button. good luck.

    these are amazing. that’s all i need to say, amazing.

  18. Darran on said:

    Lightning is a very fascinating subject for photography. It is a real pity that I am unable to experience it often, there are hardly any thunderstorms with lightning.

  19. DbRiders.com on said:

    Amazing pictures, you can’t beat a good old thunderstorm.

  20. R on said:

    The first picture is not shopped, lightning is photographed using only a slow shutter speed, as are the vehicles, no fast shutter speed is used.

  21. sethuram on said:

    Excellent pics…awesome

  22. steve on said:

    If you look closely at the bottom picture, you will also see a comet in the distance – so many things going on in one photo, unbelievable.

  23. djashish on said:

    All photographs are nice,but if the Black n white would have been taken in sepia tone or tungsten touch ,it would have been much better.
    Great work

  24. Luciano Andrade on said:

    The last picture was the most amazing!!!!!!!!

  25. gwaldo on said:

    wow lightning scares the shit outta me! great photos

  26. Jess on said:

    I can’t believe that no one has picked up on a fault in that last picture. The reflections with the lightning on the right are all wrong. I think it’s been shopped a bit. Not a very obvious shop from first glance but a shop nonetheless.

  27. Richard on said:

    A great collection of natures art.

  28. James on said:

    Once lightening struck my SUV Mahindra Scorpio. Luckily notching happened to it. Maybe becuase Scorpio is a tough SUV. But I sure was frightened with the whole scene. After all I was thinking I was going to lose my best possession, My SUV Mahindra Scorpio http://www.mahindrascorpio.com

  51. keen on said:

    Those are some truly amazing photos.Gorgeous pics! Sunsets are a beautiful time to reflect on the day and a reminder of how magical and perfect life is. Where was the North Carolina sunset taken from? Koh Lanta and San Diego sunsets are equally enjoyable! I love how Americans clap and cheer when the sun finally dips below the horizon- I have never seen that done anywhere before!

    I think that pictures of lightning storms are some of the best pictures you can capture on film. This collection right here is pretty nice I must say.

  60. Mikael on said:

    You should come to Sweden and camp out inte the woods, and see a lightening-storm. I mean, bridges cities and oceans is one thing, but sitting in a tent in the woods is super intense!

  61. Nina Linser on said:

    Really beautiful photos, thunderstorms are fascinating (and a bit scary too). Took some photos myself last summer during a thunderstorm at my summerhouse and got some decent pics of lightning striking down in the sea, it was really cool.
