Jon, thanks for the feedback. Lightning photography is a matter of timing. Set your camera on a tripod pointed in the direction of the most activity. Use "bulb" setting and a cable release. Time the lightning strikes from the most active cell, and when you think it's about right, depress the shutter and wait for a strike. If you are lucky enough to be in near total darkness (no street lights or house lights around) you can leave the shutter open for quite some time, as the film will only be exposed when the lightning flashes. I've gotten as many as 5 or 6 strikes on a single frame. If you stop down the shutter you can make exposures that last a couple of minutes or more. Also, I like to use a reasonably short focal length lens, so as to get some ground detail in the frame for size and distance reference. It's all trial and error, but a lot of fun.

I really liked this. I take it the process is pretty much one of uncap the lense, push in the shutter release cable and wait for a bolt in the right place? How did you decide on the aperture to use? Thanks for your kind comments re: my first shot at an in-camera multiple exposure. I will try your suggestion and re-post.

I don't know what it is about old trees, but I'm fascinated by them. I think the only thing I could be a critic about with this photograph is the size; could be larger.
//Just wanted you to know also, that I bought the Epson R300M; the one you told me about. Thanks.

Now that's real power. Your experience is almost all in the shot itself.
//Thanks for the tip on the Epson R300M photo printer. It's so new that B&H doesn't have it out yet; neither does Amazon...except for the R300. I think I'll wait for the R300M. Do you have one? I'd like to know what the owners have to say about it. Thanks again.

Maybe it's just me but I like the garage door. Adds a bit more perspective to things here. I like this one more because of the extra bolt and more definition in the clouds. Tough shot...great result man. Nice work here for sure.

I think you could have gotten her left hand in there and it would look better. I also think that if you got a little more of her face you would have a more emotional picture which is what people are lookin gfor sometimes.

The camera has done a fine job of capturing the dancer but it's the photographer who selects the moment. This is just the right moment, showing the dancer's concentration, and I keep waiting for her to move on, with the veil following along. The cords standing out on her neck create a deep hollow at the base of her throat, which has sensual and draws the eye.
It's sharp, and the dark-but-not-black background with visible spectators increases the "live action" feel of the picture. It's obviously not just a model posing in a studio. We might even see a picture like this in National Geographic.
The missing hand doesn't matter, in my opinion. I don't know Egyptian dance at all, but the position *appears* to be one where the left arm has just moved upwards in a dramatic flourish, and it seems to fit that the camera, like our eye, hasn't caught up with it.
Well done!

I have a simple slogan as it pertains to photos: "FOG RULES!" I love it - it cuts out mood-ruining backgrounds and can shroud the subject in delicate mystery, or spread light in distinct and etheral ways. Very cool - I love stuff like this.

Good call by Larry - the duality of making the sun look like a hydrogen blast, when, well, that's basically what it is, is very cool. I've noticed myself that my images also look brighter in Photoshop than when you make jpegs. I think it might have something to do with Adobe Gamma - and that what you're seeing in Photoshop isn't an accurate depiction of the brightness of the image (but mine is still like that, so what do I know?). Add about +10 to the brightness, then export to jpeg and sww how that looks.
