ok, i posted but its to big, trying to downsize.


Yes, please resize these to 850 pix on their wide sides.

Now, you did get a bunch of lightning strikes here, congrats! The only issue I see is the softness in the tree tops. I am guessing with that long of exposure it was from the wind blown the tops of the trees. So next time, if possible find a location or composition where there are solid objects, say like rocks that won't move with the wind. You also could take two exposures here, one a fast shot to freeze the trees and then just blend it in with the shot of the lightning. Or shoot faster than 30 secs.

I like these but would go with #1 and crop it..
Lose the bottom part with the hill as it is cut off & doesn't add to the comp.
I would then complete the crop by trimming from the top to get it to a 4x5 format.

I can only hope I get some lightning shots like these.
Thanks for posting
