Thnaks for the SBS, makes a real difference to this photo

You are very welcome. When I looked at the shot it really just looks like the sun shining through, so I thought it would help, for everyone to see the prior to show it was night.

Yes, the SBS was a great idea. Quite a dramatic difference

Thank you Kyricom. I was so excited to just get the shot, since I am very new to all this. When I came in and looked at it, I was a bit disappointed that it looked like the sun, but relieved when, I saw the prior shot! Any suggestions on how to get good lightning shots?

awsum..

A bit of noise

Kind of eerie... might want to crop from a side and top or bottom some so it isn't so centered

This was the victory of the Mets over the Giants at Mets stadium.

author i think you are going to off the theme... please do read the theme goal.... please make a shot of sky at night....

Do you see that it is dark out??? It is a outdoor stadium as usual. It's black, you know. Games can go a long time!

"Take a dramatic picture of the sky at night. Other objects may be in the shot but the main subject needs to be the sky."

I really don't feel this photo fills the criteria, as for dramatic, guess you have to be a fan. BUT apart from everything else the photo is not of good quality, there is nothing sharp in it. It's the kind of photo you take and keep, 'Because you were there', but it's probably not of much interest to anybody else.

I'm not trying to be harsh, only helpful and I have seen some good photos of yours, so know you are capable.
Good Luck
