•  Support Great quality image...as a matter of interest (to me, at least, since I would like to try sometime), how do you take pictures of lightning? Ks0stm ^(T•C•G) 06:55, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
  • I just found the right exposure by trial and error, then shot continuously (this is possible at 3.2 seconds per exposure) in burst mode. Noodle snacks (talk) 09:14, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
•  Support good composition, wow colors --Pjt56 (talk) 21:39, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
•  Support Nice!   ■ MMXX  ^talk  23:28, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
•  Comment Please fill in the date field on the image page, and if it is not a problem concerning privacy I would like to ask you to geocode it. Adds value. Thanks. --Slaunger (talk) 22:19, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Sorry, I have been away from some time, by I just noticed the CC-BY-SA license. As I recall you previously used the GFDL-1.2(?). I'd just like to say it is great you are now using the CC-BY-SA as it is a much more useful license . Cool. --Slaunger (talk) 22:23, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
    • Taken from my garden, so no geocoding. Date is in the exif but I will add it. Noodle snacks (talk) 05:18, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
      • The own garden argument is certainly a valid reason for omitting geodata. The nice thing about the date field is that if the correct format is used it will be displayed in language-localized form for users depending on their selected lang. So it is always a good idea to fill in that field although it may seem redundant considering it is in the EXIF. --Slaunger (talk) 07:40, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
•  Support - Pretty. I really like the sky. Tiptoety ^talk 01:51, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

•  Support Odd I thought I'd voted for this one but apparently not :) --Herby ^{talk thyme} 16:52, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
•  Support, --Vprisivko (talk) 17:22, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
•  Support Is this really the true colours?? --99of9 (talk) 04:03, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
  • I think so - making the white balance more magenta makes the street lights look odd. Noodle snacks (talk) 05:18, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
