Artist's Comments

The rare occurrence of a thunderstorm, sunset beneath the clouds, and a 2-hour blackout in the downtown area where I live granted the possibility of decent lightning shots from inside the city.

Canon EOS Elan II; Fuji Superia 800 ISO; aperture unknown but likely around f/11 [sunset was behind the camera], exposure length unknown but probably around 1 minute

2007-04-06: replaced oringinal print scan with film scan.

Exhibited August 2005 at Second Troy art centre in Brandon, MB, Canada.

No desks exploding in aeroports .. but yes, oddly, it was a Thursday. [assuming I dated the photo correctly, it's from a scan]

I'm not aware of anyone being hurt by lightning around here in, oh .. 25+ years that I can recall.

We get wicked thunderstorms here on the prairies. Makes for a great light/sound show.

And yes, I've made numerous recordings of thunder, too. :)

that is one eerie picture, especially the silouetted city under the lighting.

I've heard this photo called a lot of things, but never eerie before. [Admittedly, the print that was exhibited at a private show here was much lighter, though.]

What really makes this one stand out is the light trails from the cars and the cityscape in the background, in addition to the lightning. Very nice work!
