wow, that is incredible, i love the whole composition with the tree sillouette off to the right, amazing. Well done.

The famous tree again! This is my favourite image of this for sure. Well done.

Great image. Your were lucky !! to get the lightning fill the image perfectly. Wonderful effort.

Do you have any (or could you redo your PP) with less exposure in the centre of the image? I'd like to see this darker, with greater contrast around the lightning.

While a great image, there is some more detail in the middle that some extra pp could bring it and make it even better.

I always like these shoots with something extra in the scene and not just a bolt or 2.

Nice work and wish I was there

Is this your famous photogenic tree? Great shot and I agree with the others about the more detail in the middle and also more contrast for the tree silhoutte.

Thanks guys, this shot made #10 on explore.
I might have another play in PP and see if I can get more out of it, thanks for feedback/comments.

Yes this is the famous tree ! I now have Moon rise, Sunset, Sunrise, Stars and storms..... hmmmm what next?

Ok, a bit of a 're-work'

Thoughts?

The exposure in the center looks better on your 2nd image, but you've lost some of the tree, which was fantastic in the first image. A more selective adjustment of the overexposed lightning bolt is what you're looking for.

If you can't work that out, I'd leave it as is (the first post)...

Good work!

As Gripboy suggests, you have now lost contrast/detail in the tree.

Basically, you now need to combine what you have from the first image wrt the tree and edges, with what you have in the centre from the second version.

We are a picky bunch, aren't we?

Isn't it the Brisbane Broncos?

I thought the Storms were from Melbourne! :lol:

What a good shot. I had heard there was a good storm up in B-Vegas this week - glad someone posted some (well at least one) shots.

Posted: **Mon Oct 27, 2008 2:32 pm**

Nice work!

I was up in the hills for that one so we got the development but not the light show afterwards... It was quite an amazing event...

Perhaps a mixed exposure (HDR from the same pic using a mask, quite a bit of work though...)?
