untitled

The thunderstorm was right in front of my window. So, after a view minutes of watching the lightnings come down, I decided to open the window, take my Lubitel, a gorillapod and a cable release. I let the shutter open for a very long time until finally lightning struck! This was an experiment, so I was very happy that it turned out that good!

Taken by graefin with a Lubitel 166B (available in our Online Shop) loaded with Fuji Velvia (120, 100 iso) film (available in our Online Shop) in Steinhude, Germany. These tags describe this photo: lightning, ultra long exposure, pink, night, Lubitel and Velvia. This photo can also be found in the album Lubitel: LIGHTNING!.

    Great picture! I'd never thought of that idea of how to catch it, holding the shutter open. Really great idea, and I intend to steal it next time there's a lightening storm!

    @sonjabean: I was lucky enough to have the thunderstorm right in front of my window. The lightnings came down just behind that tree.

    Amazing! You should enter this in jpgmag.com for their "severe weather" theme. You would totally get my vote! I really like your work! Cheers!

    EXCELLENT!! Los Angeles has not so much thunderstorms, and earthquakes are hard to photograph, however their consequences are colourful, but then I'm at work, caring for the consequences, no time!
