Is that for real H? Great capture
I often wonder if a flash trigger would be fired by a lightening flash fast enough to capture the lightening. A fork like yours always seems to remain momentarily, long enough for a shutter to fire????
On the subject of 'Do I need flash', when will people learn that using flash at a concert or sports event will not improve the shot, more likely spoil it. Often it is a case that AUTO knows best without flash.
Returning from Luxor there was a brilliant sunset from above the clouds. A lady behind in a window seat was flashing away I suggested that she turned off her flash which she did, hope she got some good shots other than the flash back from the window........
I didn't get it, Mrs G was in the window seat and told me about it

I agree with you about using flash Grandad, how often do you see people taking pictures of things miles away or in really large buildings or from aircraft and expecting that it will come out nice and bright. I suppose to some degree it is because a lot of 'point and shoot' cameras give people so little control over it, so they imagine it must do something when it goes off.
Now as to the photograph ................. unlike some I could name, I never try to pass off a doctored picture as anything other than what it is, so folks, I confess to it being a manipulation.
I was having a play around in Photoshop and drawing in some lightning bolts using various techniques. The picture I posted is a composite of the local Victorian Folly that I told you about the other day when I was out taking pictures and a cloudy sky that I took at some time or another. I replaced the sky in the original and turned everything Mono before darkening the whole picture, I then added the lightning bolts and saved the finished picture.
Here is another one that I did this afternoon, like Grandad, I was bored with the bad weather.

Thanks Sue
As there are so many budding photographers on here, I did offer in the past to do a few tutorials, but I don't think there was much interest. For my own part I really enjoy not only taking the picture, but what I can maybe do with it afterwards, there are so many ways of enhancing a picture that it seems a pity not to use those techniques.
