Great catch of this lightning and good composition, last winter I tried to catch a lighning but didn't succeeded, well done!

Just beautiful, what a view, good timing. I love the little church at the boottom.

Amazing .
Great timing and colors and you had enough time to compose this well too. Well done.

L'effet de l'orage est magnifique, la petite eglise en bas ameliore encore la vue.

An excellent picture. The color of the sky is wonderful, I think that's due to the lightnings. It seems like those crystal balls full of rays because of the different directions they have.

Very powerful. And how luck all the lightning seems to be emanating from behind the church tower. I like the other streaks of lighting further in the sky. And that background color added to the lightning just gives it such a strong electricity. Like a mad scientist is up to something over there. Very nicely captured.

Tr鑣 bonne capture , c'est g閚ial , d'autant plus que c'est si fuge que c'est difficile , je pense vous avez du faire plusieurs photos et fait le tri de la meilleure

Magnifique !!!
En plus on coirait presque que c'est sur l'間lise de Venth鬾e que les foudres du seigneur s'abattent.... y'a-t-il un message derri鑢e cette image ????

En tous cas, BRAVO, elle est superbe !

mikee (2354) 2004-07-09 2:07

Very impressive. The colors are beautiful. Well captured.

vbourrut (32482) 2004-07-09 2:17

Superbe performance ! on a l'impression que certains 閏lairs sortent de l'間lise, tr鑣 r閡ssi ton image !

It is brilliant! Excellent composition with the lightnings creating a sort of funnel, which leads the eye to this "enchanted castle" there. A most amazing sharpness and magnificent colors as well.

cecile (4193) 2004-07-09 3:12

tr鑣 impressionnant ces 閏lairs! les couleurs sont superbes aussi

Rare and wonderful shot Stephane with the dramatic lightening against a purple sky and with the lighted building in the distance beneath the display. No doubt you were both fortunate and well prepared for this display. Wonderful work. I would be happy, however, if your signature did not appear on the lower left corner. It adds nothing to the composition. I appreciate this is a matter of personal preference.

Well I'm too late to say anything new, but simply great.

chantal (940) 2004-07-09 11:05

Fabuleux ! Ca fait plusieurs jours que j'essaie de faire des photos d'閏lairs, mais je ne pointe jamais au bon endroit. J'aime bien la couleur du ciel.

jiherka (4552) 2004-07-09 17:54

Superbe photo. Ce ciel violet... c'est 閠range, mais 鏰 fait un suprebe effet.
Bien vu Stephane

Quand j'ai vu cette image, je me suis litt閞alement jett� sur les params pour conna顃re le temps d'exposition.
Je trouve la performance excellente.
Bravo Stephane

deud (1920) 2004-08-19 9:23

I am waiting for my shot of lightning. And I like this theme.

paido (944) 2004-09-23 12:23

Wow... une convergence impressionante d'閏lairs !

Je suis surpris de voir les deux 閏lairs du haut qui sont presque totalement � l'horizontale.

jrzufferey (7305) 2004-12-10 18:57

Hello St閜hane, Belle capture 鏰 devait 阾re un belle orage, tous ces 閏lairs en 30 secondes bravo.
Je trouve la composition tr鑣 belle en particulier la partie Venth鬾e,superbe. Amicalement/jr

Fantastique !
It's very hard to take shots of a thunder, you goto it and very well, I like the ligths on the church. Great shot

fissionchips (33) 2005-07-29 18:33

Besides the photographic excellence, I really like how the lightning appears to eminate from the point of the building.

ydarias (679) 2005-08-31 8:36

Hola Stephane una foto sencillamente alucinante. La verdad es que no tengo palabras para decir lo mucho que me gusta. El color del cielo y la nitidez de los rayos es impresionante. T� foto es una de las mejores cartas de presentaci髇 de la Nikon D70 se ve que la manejas muy bien, felicidades.

Yeray.

IgorDeleze (585) 2006-08-18 16:28

Tout simplement superbe et impressionnant!
Bravo
