KA-BOOM!

I LOVE weather photography but have never been very good at it...until last night! Lightning photography is always tricky and has been especially difficult for me. I borrowed a camera last night and was really encouraged by the results! These were taken at about 11PM last night at Lake Hefner. The only price I paid was a dozen mosquito bites!
It was such a nice change of pace to be able to enjoy a thunderstorm and not have to worry about covering it! Any lightning photography tips out there? I must confess that I enhanced the pics ever so slightly on my computer to bring out a little more contrast and pizzaz. What do you think? Is digital enhancement cheating with weather photography? :) 

Ok, I am very jealous of your photography skills, these are great. I was at lake Hefner around 9 last night and between the full moon shining on the water and the lightning storm to the N.E., it was an awesome sight to behold. But to answer your question, yes digital enhancement is totally cheating. :-)
ReplyDeleteyes! but i know it was slight, so i might let it slide. :) thanks for the run. in other news, i love the scripture today in your sidebar: Prov 27:18 He who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honored.
ReplyDeleteit's ryan,
