Wow! Would it be impolite to ask how this shot was taken? The colours and crispness are exquisite...

Looks fake to me. The reflections in the water does not match whats in the sky.

Well, it's certainly not fake. That's not water...it's the bottom of the clouds. I would be shocked if it matched.

Shocked....get it?

This is a long-exposure shot...about 6 seconds. All you do is point your camera towards the storm, set the shutter to "bulb" and start snapping. As soon as you see a strike, you release the shutter.
