“Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does all the work”

This image was taken from my livingroom window during one of last years thunderstorms.

Tripod with my trusty old 5d in the window on 10 sec intervals using a tc-80n3 remote. I had it long enough to capture some good shots but when the lightning struck just down the street and nearly gave me and my (always forgiving) girlfriend a heartattack i found it better to finish up with the shots i had. One frame was taken for the streetscenerey and using two frames for the lightning i masked them out, desaturated the street and added  some blue tint to the sky.
