Thanks! I appreciate that! It was certainly a thrill taking it.

I bet. We are rolling into T-storm season here in Colorado. Hope to capture some good frames myself.

From last night, the S5 and 70-300mm (@300mm)

Really like this one - the contrast between white and red, and the black of the intervening clouds.

It's a very powerful image. A big print would be good.

Oklahoma seems to be a dangerous place to live.

From behind our house, the clouds were looking good, so decided to setup the camera for a few hours. All photos were processed in LR and I used DaVinci to create the time lapse.

A photo from the time lapse... around the 40 sec mark.

Truly sensational photo, well done. I'm hard pressed to think of many better.

Intrigued to know how much editing went into it? Also, did you use the Live Composite mode?

Thank you Sheeno. I did not spend a whole lot of time editing. It was edited in DXO Photolab 5. Think I upped the smart lighting a little, a little contrast, typical S in the tone curve, upped the vibrancy a little, tried to desaturate the purple in the color wheel, and added some more contrast with local adjustment just to the clouds. I also used Deep Prime for what noise there was. I am still actually learning my way around the camera and the editing process. I didn't use Live Composite mode. I had the shutter in bulb mode and just closed the shutter with the Lumix app on my phone when the lightning in the photo occurred. I actually think the photo could have been

better if I had not had to wait so long for the lightning. I think I lost some cloud definition with the long shutter speed.
