[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Heat in days means nice thunderstorms during night. I love to watch thunderstorms, really. It is big fun to observe power of nature and to take pictures of one of most spectatular visualisations of this power. Picture taken few days ago from my kitchen window. Storm lasted for about hour or so and I took few nice pictures of lightenings. This is firs one.

Enjoy this little break from damsel- and dragonflies :-)

Hi Greg,

I've seen a lot of lightening this summer so I know how good this capture is. The only thing missing is the sound of thunder following the strike. Would you share with me what settings you used?

Jane

Amazing shot Grzegorz, you captured it well. Good job.

Hello Greg, so you're into thunder and lightning at the moment - we are into RAIN and WINDS in NZ with a couple of tropical storms hitting us only days apart. We came back early from our holiday - which is just as well as the roads up north are now impassable because of the flooding up there.
Good shot of the streaked lightning - and well done on capturing it like this.

Hallo Grzegorz,
Niesamowicie jak mozna pieknie ten naturalny blysk z wszystkimi odnogami na niebie tak uchwycic.Nie jestem sam pewny czy te swiatla w tym mieszkaniu dodaja mu jeszcze wieksza niesamowitosc czy tez bez tego domu byloby jeszcze lepsze.
Pozdrawiam

Hello Greg, Perfect. One of my ambition is to take picture of lightining. This is just brilliant and looks as if it is going to hit the house or building. Ganesh

Hi Grzegorz.
I remember your amazing flash picture posted years ago. This is next attractive shot from you. I cannot imagine how you do this. Superb timing. Exposure, colours and composition. My best wishes and TFS.
Alexei.

Hi Grzegorz,
an inspiring look into the exciting show of a thunderstorm.
Either the watchfully prepared photographer's very quick time of reaction to press the buttom, or great luck. Or both. Seems that some more images of such exciting moments will follow - looking forward to seeing them! Summer in the city at its best.
With thanks, and best regards,
Peter

Cześć Grzegorz,

podzielam Twoją pasję obserwowania burz i błyskawic, niestety tego roku szczęście mi nie dopisało i nie udało mi się ustrzelić żadnej. Jakiś tydzień może więcej temu jednak, po raz pierwszy w życiu, obserwowałem małą trąbę powietrzną w okolicach Olsztyna, szczęśliwie miałem dobry punkt widzenia, aparat i statyw pod ręką więc niedługo na pewno coś wrzuce na TN.

Pozdrawiam
Adrian

Hi Grzeg,
Wonderful stormy shot. Technically brilliant. We also had storms here in Hungary these days / weeks / months... Tried to capture the lightning, but never managed to, at least not on such high level as You've done.
Congrats, tfs. Greetings from Hungary, László
