Love nature and space shots. Wish I had the talent to do this on my own. Kudos to all that share this magnificent display of nature.

Switzerland gets hit by 200k+ lightnings every year.

One secret desire as a photography nut, capture natural lightning without trick detectors setting off the camera.
I believe I almost succeeded once, except I forgot to remove the lens cap (putz)...

Try it in an aluminum boat in the middle of the lake during a lightning storm. Then take a shot of your face as you realize where you are and in what..
