Luck and Accident

In the moment of the impact, many people get frightened about their lives, their houses, their environment. Such a thunderstorm brings lot of bad luck for the people underneath it, but the man behind the camera was just jumping around by looking at the display - because of the luck to capture two thunderbolts on one photograph.

Really great! How did you do it? On a tripod I assume, but witch settings? Did you use any gray filter to get longer exposure time?
Would be very interesting to hear how this magnificent image came to life...=)

Manuel Meinhardt The settings:
S-Mode; 15s; F/9,5; ISO 100; 18mm
Of course with a tripod, but without a filter.

Johannes Tallroth Thanks!! Just realized that I could choose to see the EXIF data in the account settings...=)
It's really cool that you caught theese two lightnigs in a 15 sec shot! I would have guessed 3-5 minutes or something like that! Great work!!

love the description xD
Two thunderbolts *_*
Lucky man, great (and brave) photographer!

Manuel Meinhardt Oh, is "two lightnings" the right word? In my dictionary, thunderbolt is correct, but google shows me some other pictures when I search for this word. Who cares, you know, what I mean ;)
