Blixtar (Lightningbolts)
I woke up in the middle of the night by a huge thunderstorm, I got up in a nanosecond and drove under the storm to the sea, there were lightningbolt flying all over the place..
These babies was taken from the backside of the storm I mounted up the FM3a on a small video tripod on the passanger seat of my car and shot about 6-8 minute exposures as long as there was anything worth photographing... I got two photos with big lightningbolts on and this one is my favorite. I decided to no go to wide as I have experience of really small lightningbolts on wideangle photos, this is 50mm (fullframe and unmanipulated)
I used Fuji Velvia 50 Film in my Nikon FM3a camera 50/1.4 lens about 8 minute exposure.
Made at Fäboda, Jakobstad, Finland.
I like to hear what you think. I love creative comments, I have no problem with negative such as long as it's somewhat constructive.
EDIT: 9'th of March 2007, replaced the photo with a better scan (with less jpeg artifacts)
EDIT: 2'nd September 07, added a copyright stamp on the photo and made it too small to use in print, found it on a Chinese picture bureau, with a link right back to the large size on flickr...
