hey thanks for replying at Awesome Power,

i had the camera on a tripod. i was using bulb exposure, so i held down the shutter until lightning stuck. i had about 50-60 duds, or very weak shots for this one that turned out. the stats on this one are 4.6 seconds, f/4.5 iso 250 at 48mm. i shot raw, which helps very much with lightning because i white ballanced and used a different curve for both the lightning and the background sky. by the way, i did slightly enhance the stars in photoshop. they were easy to see before, but i wanted them to be unmissable because i think maybe people dont look for too long here :P

looks like you know a fair bit of photoshop yourself from your portfolio

Hi Robin, Many thanks for the comments on ' Misty Morning' I realy appreciate it. The fog effect was roughly done by changing the colour of the simple haze to a kinda white pushing the density up to about half way and droping the half hight to about a third. Hope this helps.
