thank you ameed, any other time i would have sought out a good location but this was a spur of the moment thing.i didnt even know it was lightning outside until i stepped out for a smoke and hurried back in for the camera and tripod and this is the end result. the whole thing only lasted about 30 minutes so i didnt have time to get to another area.thanks again for your comments and i like how you cropped it.

Hi Mike,
This one has to be your best,
I like the composition allot, I am a big fan of Long exposure.
I will try my best to help you with this one.
usually when shooting long exposure, I try to keep away from any artificial light source, unless it is meant to be in the picture. usually they damage it and leave some flares as this one in here.
To improve this picture, I would go with the square image. to remove the street light heat and the flare, this will remove the distraction and force the eye to concentrate on the lighting it self.
The best practice is to remove any distraction before shooting, like selecting a spot that wont have any electricity cables and so on.
keep up the good work, you have the touch.
Regards,
PS. Please check attachement.

Hey, I haven't been around to your portfolio in a while and wanted to check-in... I can't believe how much you've improved. I haven't even tried to capture lightning because of how difficult it is. I like the atmosphere created in this photo too. Keep up the good work, as usual. :)

Great lighting with the clouds. I like the lighting of the night sky.
Nice attempt at capturing the lightening. I suprised the lightening is coming from the side vs from above. Never seen it captured in this way.
You can't exactly pick where you're going to be during a ligtening storm, but I think not having someones carport in the photo would have made for a better image. A silhoutte of surrounding areas would have been nice. Maybe next time the lightening storm with short out the power lines in the neighborhood.
Your exposure is perfect. I think the 10 second shutter speed was perfect.

I like it Mike,
I've tried to capture lightning before and I know it's not easy so you did good. The light on the house really adds to the difficulty so i'd give you a 7 out of 10....not bad at all.

Mike, nice shot of the lightning and contrasting foreground, but could have been better if you could have gotten away from the power lines.
