Artist's Comments

As is usually the case with lightning photography, this was quite the pleasing accident. The lightning was striking about quite wildly, yet few and far between for this particular storm, so I didn't think I'd really catch anything decent this time around.

But I got lucky. A flash that left me temporarily blinded in one eye lit up the sky, and this was on the camera's preview screen.

No, the lightning didn't hit the tree, it struck a spot far behind it, but the placement was just SO perfect.

This was taken in the direction of my backyard, which is basically this private, void-like space between the rear ends of two rows of buildings, with a huge, dead tree right smack in the center in it.

Thats breath taking and some amazing work, I can hardly believe that you have fit something so well; just being in the right place at the right time for that photograph.

Dance in the sunlight, know no fear, and Open your heart. See with your eyes unseen, think with your heart and mind, hear the confusion and see what you get. A Symphony of Harmony and Madness, It is beautiful, To not understand and yet feel so deeply.

this is a pretty amazing shot. i love how dead-center the lightning is- that placement just totally works in this photo, even though i usually tend to find 'too-perfect' center compositions a bit bland and boring.

nice work!!
