@SachinAcharya @TripToBlog Thank you Sachin! This was taken through the windshield of my XTerra using the owners manual on the dashboard as a tripod. It was absolutely pouring out and I wasn't about to step out into that lightning. You can see some reflections on the wet hood.

@TheWildImages @TripToBlog Woah.. nature power.. your editing really works here.. awesome shot looks like take from car. 📸😍

Central Pennsylvania The brightest lightning bolt I have ever observed Slight overexposure adds dynamic power It appears daytime but was captured at 1 AM thewildimages.com @TheWildImages @TripToBlog #nature #photo #photooftheday #naturephotography #photography

@breakfreeandfly @TripToBlog Thank you! Lightning in the West is delicate and pretty, lightning in the East is bright and powerful!

@TheWildImages @TripToBlog Seriously cool

@breakfreeandfly @TripToBlog Thank you Michelle. The clouds were something else that day!

@RRe_Rei @TripToBlog That is perfect, exactly what I was trying to evoke here! Thanks!

@TheWildImages @TripToBlog A picture full of energy and natural grandeur🌩️

@MagdeleneFeher @TripToBlog Thanks so much! This image reminds me of a painting, so it is good to hear that others agree.

@TheWildImages @TripToBlog That would make a beautiful painting, great photo.

@danarene75 @TripToBlog What a great area to have lived in! I have visited there on a number of occasions simply because of the scenery.

@TheWildImages @TripToBlog I used to live about 20 miles from the Sand Dunes. Beautiful place.

@icarus_pictures Thank you so much, that means a lot! I will be spending the next few years in the Wisconsin area while the solar cycle is at its peak activity, so hopefully more opportunities await in the future.

This is intoxicating! Absolutely love it.

@SonjaSwissLife Thank you for noticing the detail of my aligning of the plants to the aurorae. This was done intentionally for a seamless link between ground and sky. That is great to hear you have a connection to Wisconsin! It is at a high magnetic latitude so the aurorae blaze brightly here.

Stunning #Aurora #photography. Love how you aligned the plants to the rays of the lights. New respect for #Wisconsin @TheWildImages My ancestors were there after the boat ride from Dalen in 1834.

Another great night of aurora displays occurred in the wee hours of early morning on Monday, 8/12/2024. This image was captured in the Wisconsin wilderness just after 1 AM. focal length 26mm f/2.8 ISO 800 exp 6s thewildimages.com #aurora #photography #naturephotography

@RobDGosselin The purists will say only shooting in black and white counts. But de-saturating a color image is a very common practice, and can often help convert a mediocre image with subtle color to become a great image with mood.

Something I'm struggling with. I could use some feedback. Is it only considered an authentic black and white photo if shot in black and white, or does de-saturating a color image also qualify? My camera will shoot black and white. Just trying to nail this down. #photography
