    Lightning - once in a lifetime shot

    350 frames of darkness were worth it for this 1 frame I caught in the first 10 frames. I then kept hoping for just one more lol..

    No one can hold a candle to mother nature when it comes to fireworks.



    Then I got creative and played with split toning in Lightroom. What a wonderful tool.

    I have been trying for 30 odd year and only got partial success, Perhaps I need to move to a country with more lightning. Were lucky to get three lightning storms a year

    Lovely shot and I prefer the top left.
