I want to go to there.
Well, someplace was getting the $#!T shocked out of it…
That looks insanely awesome
One does not simply walk into a lightning storm.
So it begins…..
I wonder how or where this shot was taken? Normally, you’d need several seconds of exposure (or a lot of luck) just to capture a single lightning, photographing as many as these would require even longer, even accounting for an extreme lightning weather.
But you need something very stable to put your camera on, absolutely steady while exposing (or the lights in the foreground would be much more smeared). And looking at the point/field of view, there can’t be many places in the world as high up as this (looking out on a pretty flat landscape WAY below) where you’re standing on solid ground. If this is not one of those places, how do you hover a camera completely immobile for a long time?
how do you keep a camera completely stable as high up as this?
Could be the view from the mountains of Corfou, GR, looking over the sea towards the coast of Albania. The lightning would over the mountains of Albania. I have seen similar before, right there. But I am not 100% sure if this is the exact location of that picture.
We have to bring down the gods…
I took this photo this past summer. You can find the details of the image here on my Flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photos/summit42/6092320007/ and 500px http://500px.com/photo/1784317
I enjoy sharing my images and selling the occasional print to help pay for new gear so please give credit where credit is due.
Thanks.
That photo was taken by Bill Church in the Wasatch mountains of Utah. Give the guy some credit and check out his website! http://www.summit42.com
