The exposure and vibrancy look alright, but that watermark... man, work on that.

Stupid font. Silly brand name.

Nice shot though, kudos to you. Needs some work, but the basics are pretty good.

The file doesn't have EXIF. Care to share the F stop, shutter speed and ISO?

Thanks for the great response everyone. If people are interested in prints send me a private message and I'll see what I can do.

There was a lightning storm during the South Africa's show at the 2009 Celebration of Light in Vancouver. Seen here and here

Not bad but where is the shark jumping out of the water to eat the guy dangling from the helicopter?

[deleted] · 3 months

Anyone else notice the grumpy old man's face on the right of the lightning?

I love that there's the same colour scheme throughout the picture as well.

Badass photo, but that watermark is terrible. That font... Eugh.

i dont think this is a "shot of a lifetime" and if so, not many more shots will be had.

Miceli123 · 3 months

OP: what was your shutter speed? My shots of fireworks always blur

Fireworks, Lightning, and shooting star:

Piece of cake, you should've tried the same in San Diego

Great way to ruin the photo with your bullshit watermark, faggot.

I don't get it.. This has been over-processed and so much detail has been lost. That watermark is wretched as well. Work on your post processing and you'd have a result that's better than people saying "ooh, pretty lights".

pestilence46879 · 3 months

Looks like the mid-Hudson bridge. That shit was awesome. Fireworks on one side, lighting on the other.

Also, this looks photoshopped. There are no mountains that run parallel to the bridge. I can't see the outline of the walkway either which should be clearly visible since those fireworks were bright as shit. The lightning storm was also well east of the river by the time the show started as well. This picture was taken looking north too I presume.

Edit: here's a couple daytime shots from the walkway looking south. http://i.imgur.com/0Wlsq.jpg http://i.imgur.com/qmCho.jpg

Edit 2: I really gotta stop looking at shit on my phone before I open my mouth. Now I can tell exactly where you were standing.

And then they had to ruin it with the watermark.

Yeah, this would be a good time to retire. Doesn't get much better than that.

Is that comic sans' older sister in that big watermark there?

Amberleaf · 3 months

And another one!

Can I just say a few things as to why I think this is photoshopped:

no reflection (important)
op is very vague about camera settings (particularly the exposure time)
it just doesn't look right (perspective wise), firework burst should be much higher.
capturing a firework bust & lightning in 3 seconds? (possible but very unlikely)
where were the fireworks shot from? (the barge in the river?)
where is the smoke from the fireworks? (was this the first photo of the night - even luckier!)

All these question could be answered if the op would simply send the original RAW file to one of the admins (or me) for verification :-).

If I am wrong I apologise in advance.

jesse950 · 3 months

thats the money shot!

outstar · 3 months

shot of a lifetime ruined by watermark...

HIPPOisSKEPTICAL · 3 months

You could probably sell that for lots of moneys. There are people that spend their whole lives trying to get a decent picture of lightning. This one is amazing.

jerthebear · 3 months

I'm guessing that this is not perfect timing but is, in fact, multiple images stacked together. It's certainly possible that this was accomplished in a few second exposure. Probably not though.

ratfacechirpybird · 3 months

What, no lens flare?

Jdruu · 3 months

Nice to see a local picture. Go Hudson Valley!

I would like you to know, this picture causes me to buy the upgraded reddit pic app on my ipod immediately. I wanted it so badly as my wallpaper. This is the most beautiful picture I have ever seen. Thank you very much.

netgamer7k · 3 months

Yay! A big fat, ugly watermark on it, so I can't have it as my desktop background!!! I love you, artist! (or photographer?)
