J'ai écumé de nombreux orages afin de pouvoir prendre une photo qui montre des éclairs... De nombreuses photos toutes rangés dans la ... corbeille ! Celle ci est la première que je trouves plutôt "réussie" (comparativment aux autres essais). Qu'en pensez vous et tout conseil seriait bienvenus....

J'aime beaucoup les orages, je trouve que ce phénomène météorologique est quelque chose de magnifique. Alors biensur comme pour chaque orage je prends l'appareil et le trépied, et en avant les photos...
Éclair saisi au cours de la soirée du 11 mai 2009 à Roquefort dans les Landes. L'activité électrique était hallucinante, avec jamais plus de deux secondes entre deux décharges pendant plusieurs minutes !

One of the assortment of desserts I made for Easter this year. After spending nearly the entire day Saturday prepping for Easter dinner, I wasn't really in much of a mood to spend a lot of time behind the camera; just wanted to get off my feet and rest. Put the viewfinder up to my eye, and just moved around the stuff I had been working on, looking for a composition that worked. Took a few test shots of this éclair…
…and they all felt flat, which I should have expected from the room lighting. So, out came the new flashes, and half an hour of fiddling later, I arrived at this shot (so much for the “getting off my feet and resting” thing, eh?)
I was trying to mimic the look of a strong natural backlight, like I might shoot with if it were sometime when the sun was up (using a window in the background for the main light source, and maybe a white bounce or something to fill the resultant foreground shadows.
I didn't make note of the flash power settings, but one flash was behind and about a foot above, with a 8"x12" softbox, and the other was to camera right, bounced at about a 45° angle up to a metal sheet pan I was using as a reflector. i think I got pretty close to the look I was going for, although the highlights are just a hair more blown out than I would have liked (I suspect a bigger soft box or a shoot-through umbrella may have been a better choice).
Nikon D7000 w/Nikkor 18-200mm @ 135mm, 1/60s @ ƒ/8, ISO100, flash as described above. Minor cropping and color adjustment in Aperture.
