Great catch of this lightning and good composition, last winter I tried to catch a lighning but didn't succeeded, well done!

Just beautiful, what a view, good timing. I love the little church at the boottom.

Amazing .
Great timing and colors and you had enough time to compose this well too. Well done.

great picture, nice cropping and detail too

L'effet de l'orage est magnifique, la petite eglise en bas ameliore encore la vue.

An excellent picture. The color of the sky is wonderful, I think that's due to the lightnings. It seems like those crystal balls full of rays because of the different directions they have.

Very powerful. And how luck all the lightning seems to be emanating from behind the church tower. I like the other streaks of lighting further in the sky. And that background color added to the lightning just gives it such a strong electricity. Like a mad scientist is up to something over there. Very nicely captured.

Très bonne capture , c'est génial , d'autant plus que c'est si fuge que c'est difficile , je pense vous avez du faire plusieurs photos et fait le tri de la meilleure

Magnifique !!!
En plus on coirait presque que c'est sur l'église de Venthône que les foudres du seigneur s'abattent.... y'a-t-il un message derrière cette image ????

En tous cas, BRAVO, elle est superbe !

It is brilliant! Excellent composition with the lightnings creating a sort of funnel, which leads the eye to this "enchanted castle" there. A most amazing sharpness and magnificent colors as well.

très impressionnant ces éclairs! les couleurs sont superbes aussi

Rare and wonderful shot Stephane with the dramatic lightening against a purple sky and with the lighted building in the distance beneath the display. No doubt you were both fortunate and well prepared for this display. Wonderful work. I would be happy, however, if your signature did not appear on the lower left corner. It adds nothing to the composition. I appreciate this is a matter of personal preference.

Well I'm too late to say anything new, but simply great.

Fabuleux ! Ca fait plusieurs jours que j'essaie de faire des photos d'éclairs, mais je ne pointe jamais au bon endroit. J'aime bien la couleur du ciel.

Superbe photo. Ce ciel violet... c'est étrange, mais ça fait un suprebe effet.
Bien vu Stephane

Quand j'ai vu cette image, je me suis littéralement jetté sur les params pour connaître le temps d'exposition.
Je trouve la performance excellente.
Bravo Stephane

Wow... une convergence impressionante d'éclairs !

Je suis surpris de voir les deux éclairs du haut qui sont presque totalement à l'horizontale.

Hello Stéphane, Belle capture ça devait être un belle orage, tous ces éclairs en 30 secondes bravo.
Je trouve la composition très belle en particulier la partie Venthône,superbe. Amicalement/jr

Fantastique !
It's very hard to take shots of a thunder, you goto it and very well, I like the ligths on the church. Great shot

Besides the photographic excellence, I really like how the lightning appears to eminate from the point of the building.

Hola Stephane una foto sencillamente alucinante. La verdad es que no tengo palabras para decir lo mucho que me gusta. El color del cielo y la nitidez de los rayos es impresionante. Tú foto es una de las mejores cartas de presentación de la Nikon D70 se ve que la manejas muy bien, felicidades.

Yeray.

Bonsoir,
alors la bravo! J'ai essayé plusieurs fois ce genre de photo, mais jamais avec un tel résultat.
Tout simplement superbe et impressionnant!
Bravo
Bonne soirée
Igor
