Thunder from Mt. Fuji, a photo from 山梨, 中部

Photographer's Note

This is my last installment of Mt. Fuji unless there are any requests for more. I was lucky to capture this picture with lightning, this was one of my best photos from Mt. Fuji

This is the original shot, nothing has been changed. this photo took 30 seconds to take

Fantastic weather. It's incredible that you managed to get both stars and lightning.

Not often you can capture the lightning. Well see, well done.

It looks like being painted, very well done!

Vous avez capt� un 馗lair en direct ! c'est rare ! et pas facile � faire.
Ce serait int駻essant de nous pr馗iser le couple vitesse/diaphragme utilis�.
La photo originale doit 黎re certainement plus jolie, la pixelisation apparente sur le ciel est due � la trop forte compression JPEG.
Je vais publier dans Tips Technique un petit mode d'emploi simple pour photographier des 馗lairs.

You collected a thunder directly! it is rare! and not easy to make. It would be interesting to specify us the couple speed/diaphragm used. The original photograph must be certainly prettier, the apparent pixelisation on the sky is due to the too strong compression JPEG. I will publish in Tips Technique small simple instructions to photograph thunders.

Good job. I think I will start a lightning theme now. ;) It would be stupendous to have something interesting in the foreground like a torii but probably there wasn't anything handy at the time.

wow, amazing! capturing the thunderlight is not so simple. The atmosphere is great, surrealistic!

Wonderful shot, Daniel. It looks like a NASA picture from a distant nebula or from a dark galaxy somewhere in the universe. I love the colors and the cosmic feeling it produces (at least on me). Congratulations!

i love thunder`s photos. because i think that it is not easy to get one, especially a good one without a lot of luck.

i like this photo (especialy it is an original shot). the sky is dark, and i could even see the stars. and around the thunder and the horizon is bright. it is beautiful. well captured. good job!

That's a very good serie you made about Mt Fuji. I need to go there one day ! I guess you spent the night at Mt Fuji. How did you get there ? For I think you are from Aichi too...

How many pictures did you take to have a few good ones ?
