"As much as I appreciate the photos. I wonder too about the authenticity of the colors. Looks almost to good to be true. Great shot!"

"Hi Thanks for the comments and votes. When you shoot lightning you do get a lot of purple tones. There are a lot of factors out there. If you use the tungsten white balance it will get the shots to more blue. The is a custom white balance to how I saw it and what it looked like. On the right in the clouds is the color of the reflection of the tungsten from the city lights."
