Congratulations to Craig Bill with this image entitled ''Thunder Heart'', Craig from Texas, USA has won 6 months membership to The Society of International Nature and Wildlife Photographers.
Craig gives us an insight
into the image "Although storm chasing is crazy exciting, you never know what
kind of shots you might get. Dancing with lighting obviously can be very
dangerous. and this low hanging cloud was threatening me with random powerful
bolts. Its hard to shoot lightning without observing and anticipating where it
might strike next. I would set up my camera and tripod, peer through the lens
and wait for a lightning strike to light up the sky - just so that I could see
about where it might strike again and with what zoom might give me a good shot.
Then hook up a control device that trips the shutter when a bright flash hits
(The Lightning Trigger). Crash! Boom! I am now hiding in my vehicle, the camera
just sitting out in the drizzle and wind. Finally a strike in the direction I
had hoped! Did it get it, did it , did it? Thunder Heart was born in a blinding
flash so bright and powerful, I never saw it directly."
