Well, this is the greatest lightning bolt I could capture that night. I think that it´s a frightening result, specially for those who likes to take a boat and go fishing sometimes far from the coast, like me. Summer thunderstorms are commom at late afternoon, and evening. It´s better to be confortable at home and watch this nature´s spectacle safely, don´t you think?
I know that some friends will prefer to see this image without the beach at bottom, but I could not crop that two reflections on waters over the sand, and I have already posted the last picture without any beach. So, I hope you enjoy it!
Cheers!

Hi Jose,
Very unique cpature you have here. I love the drama and the graphic quality of the image. The lightening bolt almost looks like a glowing figure crossing the water.

Hi Jose,
spectacular lightning and excellent colours, a great image. I agree about the crop, it would be a shame to lose those two reflections.

An awesome capture, Jose.
That is totally amazing.
And I do like the reflection on the sand very much.
Thanks for saving that part. TFS. : )

Holy @#$%! That is incredible, and the cool bluish purple really adds to this dynamic capture. :)

salut josé
C'est vraiment impressionnant de voir cette gigantesque éclair en image.Cette prise de vue est de toute beautée.J'ai l'impression de voir les jambe d'un homme ainsi que son torse.Très joli les reflets dans l'eau et sur la plage,tu as bien fait de garder ce bout de plage.
Merci et au revoir....JP

houas josé

Absolutely stunning. I love seeing the beach! I would maybe even like to see more of it. The color, the sharpness, the drama...Perfect. What a place to live!

Wow what a scary thing to be next too. Excellent capture and the colours magnificent. Well done on your bravery.

Jose, Looking at this itself is really disturbing. I am not sure how you managed. Great show. Ganesh

I've never seen or even heard of any lighting bolt this size!!!!
Very well done for capturing nature at its worst.
