Description Oh man...Lightning is cool...

Oh, and I got a D300s. It's pretty and I like it.

Shot with a D300s and a Nikkor 50mm 1.4 prime lens.

..That is just so very many levels of wow.
Perfect moment captured.
Also love how it gives just that slight hint of the scenery ahead of it from the glow of the storm.

Absolutely amazing, really.

Seriously - that is superb! You should put up the Exif information to give some clue about how you took it, though. I'm assuming a tripod and a long exposure time - and a conveniently heavy thunderstorm. If that was using the Tamron wide-angle (a lovely lens although I have the Nikon version for my D7K) then this was really close, amirite?

Oh, wait...I'm an idiot, I was using my 50mm prime by that point, duuurrr. And the exif'd be something like 3s exposure and a 4.8 aperture, or something similar.

And yes, I used a tripod and the storm was fairly going, but not too crazy.

Ok, so that's either zoomed and cropped or it was pretty nearby then? It's awesome, however you managed it! We don't get storms that intense here except once every couple of years or less which I think is a shame. I do see storms when we go to Sardinia but I usually don't take my tripod there because it's 1/3 of my luggage allowance O_o

Nah, I was a solid few km away, and it's uncropped, although I should crop it. 50mm on a dx sensor is something like 75mm on a 35mm camera, so it has a decent amount of magnification.

Then it was OMG massive I'm still impressed, no matter how much you make out this was just an ordinary picture
