One of my favorite locations to shoot is this lone tree in a field not too far from my house. Or I should say, it was this lone tree. I went there last night to photograph Venus and the Milky Way together, only to discover that the tree had sadly succumbed to the ravages of time and is no longer standing.
So I thought I would honor its memory by releasing one last shot from the spectacular lightning display I managed to capture there in January.

Canon 5D MkII, 20mm, F/22, ISO 50, Single 5 second exposure.

Attempting to capture lightning for quite some years, I can tell how hard it is to get a sharp image + a good concept for your photograph. I must congratulate you on this one!

Thank you very much 1% knowing the right camera settings, 1%getting up at 4am and going storm chasing, 1% choosing this location and composition, and 97% pure luck to have the lightning in the frame
