November 10th, 2007 at 7:50 amThis is by far one of the best “earthshots” till date. It really shows mother earth in all her grandeur. Pl. give us some Metadata Don. For example How long was the exposure, ISO, NR, NDfilter etc. How did you go about setting up the tripod etc. thanks.

November 10th, 2007 at 7:22 pmDon, You say that you have been attempting to capture lightning. Correction you capture lightning pics. This photograph is spectacular. Luck has nothing to do with it. You put your self exactly where you needed to be to capture your passion.
Brilliant!!
