"Go Cowboys !!! I grew up near Dallas and was friends with many Cowboy players in the early 80's (Tony Dorsett, Too Tall Jones, Drew Pearson, etc..) I also like the expression of the guitarist on the left..."
Critiques?
I am thinking of printing this on canvass for myself and possibly trying to sell a few copies at my local camera shop. This photo has only been cropped, sharpened, and de-noised using PSE. Any other advice, critiques, ect would be greatly appreciated. Also, since this is the first picture I will ever have printed, I would appreciate any advice on how to make sure the image is transferred accurately. I have heard horror stories of photographers getting crappy prints of an otherwise awesome picture.

Haha! No I don't own one. Those are VERY expensive and I'm no storm chaser. It was just a case of being in the right place at the right time. I was at Table Rock shooting a sunset when the thunderhead literally brewed up right in front of us. Most of the people there took off owing to the fact that Table Rock has an array of communications towers and a 30 foot tall glowing cross sitting on it. Perfect targets for lightning to strike. I went further down and found a trail to set up on and just set my camera to 30 second exposures and shot for over an hour. I probably took over 100 photos that night of which only a dozen or so yielded acceptable results.

Huh, I didn't realize long exposure would work that well for lightning, but now I might have to give it a serious try... Too bad its winter! Thanks for sharing these shots with us though :)

Chris, you might like this: http://wvs.topleftpixel.com/09/08/10/, the notes say a 15 sec exposure was used and the top one was made from 2 exposures, the bottom has individual strikes.

Also Chris, here is a scary thing about my lightning pics that I failed to mention. One pic very well might have recorded the bolt that struck a man walking along a road in the hills above Boise. I did not know this until I got home and watched the local news.

I went ahead and made a small print to test the color accuracy of my monitor. Everything is right on and the photo shop wants to sell my work!

Thanks! I'm not looking to make a ton of money, but if I can use the money earned to buy a new camera body or a lens, I would be very happy.
