My first lightning shot:

Not a great capture but totally enjoyed the experience of capturing the moment.

Oooops!

My little nephew totally caught unprepared.

This one is better, the other one has some distraction with the lense flare

Nice picture, care to share roughly at which angle the sun is? Is it directly at the side, or around 45 degree to the subject?

You can tell from the picture it is almost 40 degrees backlit of the subject and the image (metering) is slightly over exposed but in this case the shot turned out well. My question is : Was bracketing function of exposure used? Nice shot.

Thanks gentlemen for the compliment, feedback and queries.

Yes....microcosm was right that the shot above was slight...ly over-exposed.

Actually the correct exposure setting was meant for this shot below



As you can see that this shot is nice but not as interesting (at least to my eye) as the one taken with the slightly over-exposure and the half-exposed sun in the background (trying not to conform to the usual and standard kind of shot).
At that time it was my gut feel that it might be a keeper.
Was bracketing used?....... No, but should have tried (in retrospect).....you 'll never know what you might get.......a winner.......hehe.
Cheers!

Thanks bro for your comment.

It was precisely due to the above 'distraction' reason that this particular shot was specially chosen for the posting.

I kind of like those created special effect such as "ghosting and lens flare' caused by the 'cheapo' UV filter.......as it sometimes adds interestingness moody feel to a rather often mundane shot that totally lacks color and contrast........It is always a challenge for me to do moody shot.....I have yet to think, feel and see in that 'light'....a cheap filter might be easier to do a better job than a expensive high end filter....... some of the times......hehe.

You got that right bro. There are times when these "impurities" work to your advantage and add depth into an otherwise boring image. Your creativity and eye for details is getting better and better. :thumbsup:

You can try different crop of you photo you might still find usable image by removing the distracting flare. It will be small but still usable and nice.
