Neat shot man!!!! Very,very cool, I must say. Knowing how small and insignificant an ultra-short focal length like 10.5mm renders a background, those must have been some hellaciously large lightning bolts!

Thank you for the kind words! Yeah man, hellacious would definitely describe that storm! It rattled windows for hours that night as well as knocking out the power for a bit. This was my first try at lightning photography, and it think it came out fairly decent considering. The foreground isn't all that great, but shooting from my dry balcony just made more sense. :lmao:

EDIT: If anyone thinks it looks somewhat grainy, clicking on the picture should take you to the clear version in my webshots. It may just be my monitor making it look odd though.
