The thunderstorm was right in front of my window. So, after a view minutes of watching the lightnings come down, I decided to open the window, take my Lubitel, a gorillapod and a cable release. I let the shutter open for a very long time until finally lightning struck! This was an experiment, so I was very happy that it turned out that good!
Taken by graefin with a Lubitel 166B (available in our Online Shop) loaded with Fuji Velvia film in Steinhude, Germany. These tags describe this photo: lightning, ultra long exposure, pink, night, lubitel, mittelformat, and velvia. This photo can also be found in the album Lubitel: LIGHTNING!.

Great picture! I'd never thought of that idea of how to catch it, holding the shutter open. Really great idea, and I intend to steal it next time there's a lightening storm!
graefin
@sonjabean: I was lucky enough to have the thunderstorm right in front of my window. The lightnings came down just behind that tree.
