That’s an excellent shot, great timing and the I really like the overall composition. I would be well pleased with this Michael.

magnificent shot ! how many attempts did it take to get that ??!! nicely composed aswell .
Image of Lightning striking the Eiffel tower in Paris on Saturday 20/08/2011, just got back to the hotel and the wife commented that there was lightning outside took a quick look on the balcony of the room in the hotel brighton which had a good view of the tower and there were flashes every 30 – 40 seconds and it was getting closer, had no tripod so i grapped the side table from beside the bed, took the drawer out, flipped it upside down put it on top then put the waste paper bin upside down on top of that to get a clear and steady view over the bars.
Got about 3 or 4 shots with lightning in them, had shutter open for about 25-30 seconds a shot with noise reduction on, everytime the camera was performing noise reduction and there was lightning the words ‘aaaahhh s**t !!’ could be heard over the thunder….. ;)
nothing major done to the image, just basic white balance, curves and slightly cropped.Canon 5D Mark II 24-70mm f2.8L

Excellent, love the composition, colours, framing, timing everything
is spot on. Very well taken, congratulations :)Excellent work. I hope you put everything in the room back as it was or the hotel staff will be wondering what you were up to. :lol:
Brilliant shot, well worth the setup effort to capture this.
A wall hanger for sure.
DeeJust like to add my “well done” to all the rest.
Lovely photograph.
