Towers of Light
by James Langford

Caught this one last night after a nice storm rumbled through the Dallas, TX area. I thought that the Lightning strikes almost made their own "Towers" like the buildings. :)

Great capture, to catch those two and at the same time have the skyline so clear and bright, excellent. I would suggest some heavy cropping, if you don't mind, starting to the right of the two trees and ending at the bright tower on the right. Willem

Beautiful photo, James. I agree with others, this rates a double-WOW, one for the buildings and reflections, and one for the lightning bolts. The colors and clarity are awesome. Bev

Beautiful night photo, James, esp the contrast bewtween the soft refelections and the dramatic/sharp bolts of lightning. Nice capture. MFC

Very nice capture - I watched the same storm for about an hour - that is where my bolt came from also...
Well done.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Joe, I used Indoor white balance for this shot. In PS, I used Auto Levels and then bumped up the color Saturation just a bit.

Another nice capture of the Dallas skyline. I used to work in one of those buildings (second from left), and they never looked as in your nighttime images. Did you do much reprocessing to bring out the colors in the reflections? JoeSchmoe

Great night shot, James. The colors and lighting are just about perfect. Great capture of the lightning too. Rates a double WOW! Harry
