Tribute to Benjamin Photo

Photographer’s Note

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) among having been one of the USA founding fathers was also a great inventor and a scientist. He linked scientifically the lightning to
electricity.
This electrical storm was taken yesterday night from my balcony in Caslano.

Ciao Mauro,
Super. J'admire toujours les image d'éclairs parce qu'elles me semblent très difficiles à réaliser. Combien de photos as tu pris pour obternir celle-ci?
Il y une bonne gestion de la lumière et les couleurs sont bonnes. J'aime cet énorme nuage...
Amicalement, Brigitte

Bella serie di fulmini Mauro, e ottima l'esposizione ed i colori che hai ottenuto.
Nessuna paura a stare fuori col treppiede?
Ciao!

Hola Mauro. Una foto muy impresionante y un fenómeno natural muy raro. No hay mucho que decir sobre la técnica esta muy bien ya que es muy dificil hacer una foto a este tipo de cosas que no estan fijas como por ejemplo un edificio. Es un gran trabajo.

Hi Mauro,
Great effect of this long exposition, you really did it. And also the composition with the lonely tree is very good - or it is just a plant on your balcony? Nevermind, it fulfils the composition in very spectacular way.

Hi Mauro
Great tribute to Franklin! But for sure I wouldn't like to
play with my kite in this cloud!! Your shot is beautiful and
colors are nice and gives a good idea of the size of this cloud.
Really great !!
Bye Quentin

great shot, excellent capture, good exposure time to capture all this in action, and with over 2000 views its got to be a good shot! i think i may crop a small amount of the foreground out, good shot though well done!

ajcsousa (1804) 2005-08-17 4:45

Nice catch on the right moment, it looks like something it's going to blow out of those clouds. Perfect picture.

Be well,
António

Ciao Mauro,
J'en ai deux sous la main de photos comme ca alors je vais m'essayer a la critique croisee... sur la tienne j'aime bien en plus du phenomene electrique bien sur la silhouette de l'arbre et de la crete qu'on devine a peine, plus haut les eclairs illuminent bien les nuages sur lesquels joue la lumiere, les couleurs sont bien propres.

Bonne soiree,
