Lightning in Full Force
Uploaded: April 20, 2007
This image was captured with a Canon 20D, 20-40mm f2.8 @ 20mm. ISO 100, f11, and a 20 sec. exposure on 4-2-07 in Rockford, IL. I thought this was a great shot to show comparison on how large some lightning strikes can be. This bolt dwarfs the 4 story hotel in the forground along I-90 after slight cropping. The only PS is slight curves and minor color adjustments and contrast.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
