Just amazing!
Posted by Joaquín Arias at June 11, 2008 03:16 AMWOW!!! Great Picture!
Posted by caro at June 11, 2008 03:19 AMVery nice Svm. I wanted to record some video of this storm, but I accidentally fell asleep!
Posted by Mark Baluk at June 11, 2008 03:26 AMAmazing picture! I love the lightning, its just amazing perfect timing it seems too.
Posted by Quinn at June 11, 2008 03:44 AMHoly crap, that is one impressive shot man.
Posted by Thomas at June 11, 2008 04:03 AMWow!!!
Posted by Massimo Meijer at June 11, 2008 04:10 AMGreat shot...but I wonder how many shots you took to have such a nice lightning!
By the way, I'm impressed by the exposure and the ISO, that gave (how?) such a bright lightning.
Great work!
Oh, this photo is absolutely marvelous!
By the way, I've subscribed to your site's RSS some time ago and I think your photos are great. I really like the idea that you include information about shutter, aperture, ISO, etc. in the tooltip :) It's a great way to learn taking good pictures ;) Thanks!
Fabulous; it's one thing to photograph an international landmark at night, a whole new ball game to catch a flash of lightning lined right up with it.

Posted by majid at June 11, 2008 05:44 AMMore than wonderful
Posted by Farshad Palideh at June 11, 2008 06:26 AMThat is Beautiful!
Could you post tips on photographing lightning?
Posted by laura at June 11, 2008 07:03 AMawesome capture!
Posted by sam at June 11, 2008 07:30 AMJust amazing, i dont know how you do it man... How you catch such perfect photos perfectly placed.
Well done
Posted by DAni at June 11, 2008 07:38 AMExcellent. The way the lightning bolt passes the CN Tower makes it look so small.
Posted by Mike at June 11, 2008 08:22 AMWowzer!!!!!!! Spectacular!
Posted by Suellen at June 11, 2008 08:35 AMTruly amazing shot! Almost instant classic...
Posted by Mike at June 11, 2008 08:38 AMSweet picture. Is this just a long exposure?
Posted by Ed Lavalette at June 11, 2008 08:39 AMBrilliant (literally!)
This is so good that the skeptics will come out and say the bolt was photoshopped from a second photo. But, all your fans know that your skill, dedication and creativity produce award winning shots! Bravo. This belongs on a book cover.
I'm still gasping for air on this one.
Very impressive!
Posted by Veronique at June 11, 2008 08:51 AMAmazing shot. How long did you have to stand there waiting or trying to catch a lightning strike?
Posted by Jay at June 11, 2008 09:00 AMSam - this is amazing. Do you have a direct link to God to let you know when this kind of opportunity is going to strike??? You are the best!!! And the chess players - what can I say, just brilliant. Cheers - Shari

Posted by Nancy at June 11, 2008 11:46 AMAwesome shot!!
Posted by Mona at June 11, 2008 11:47 AMIt looks like God struck Toronto's boner with lighting.
Posted by coop at June 11, 2008 11:53 AMsweet jesus
Posted by Langford at June 11, 2008 12:18 PMA-mazing! One of my favorites, for sure.
Posted by Ryan Austin Dean at June 11, 2008 12:20 PMAnother great shot Sam. That storm was amazing. It hit us here in Hamilton too and I was out all evening watching.
Posted by Lucas Amanowicz at June 11, 2008 12:43 PMGREEEAAATTTTT !!!!!!!!!!
This is just great!
I was thinking during the storm, how wonderful it would be if you would take pictures and than post one with a lightning. And there it is! :)
Thanks!
Bravo Sam!
Posted by lyn at June 11, 2008 04:51 PMi live to see live shots like this!! but had to sleep. Great storm,
Great shot!! thanks
Absolutely amazing, of course.
(Admit it, though. When the lighting struck at the time, you thought it hit the tower, didn't you? God knows I would have.)
Very nice shot! Lightning is always a challenge, so capturing one so beautifully, with such an interesting and well-exposed forground is truly impressive. Great job :)
Posted by Neil Creek at June 11, 2008 09:12 PMwhoa!
Posted by Chris Nolan.ca at June 11, 2008 09:17 PMWow... That is unbelievable!*!* You had another amazing one like this a few years ago. I don't understand - Do you sit there by the window, poised and ready to shoot every time there is a lightning storm?! It's an amazing shot!
Posted by Kimberly Way at June 11, 2008 09:17 PMAmazing shot! Very nice work.
Posted by Josh McKague at June 12, 2008 01:12 AMHi... This is veryyyyyyyyyy Excellent

Posted by Ame at June 12, 2008 12:44 PMThis picture is just amazing....Thanks for sharing!!
Posted by Paolo De Marchi at June 12, 2008 08:19 PMI was waiting for a shot like this from you after the storms a few nights ago. Really great!
Posted by 24by36 at June 12, 2008 10:57 PMMy first thought on seeing this was - God wins.
How small we are in comparison to this act of nature. And how wonderful your shot - not just the lightning bolt, but the lights in the buildings, the reflections in the windows... Just a powerful shot.
Thank you Sam.
Posted by Patty at June 13, 2008 11:06 AMPOWERFUL!!!
Posted by NEO at June 16, 2008 11:37 PMNice timing!
Posted by Calvin Chan at June 18, 2008 04:02 PMthis is a great shot.
i would also like to add that i really appreciate your work. i grew up in toronto, and i think the way you capture the city is really unique way. since i don't get to visit that often, your photographs are a nice reminder of home. thanks.
Posted by andrew dalgleish at June 24, 2008 02:01 PMFantastic.
Posted by rose at June 24, 2008 06:12 PMwow amazing capture!
Posted by cait at June 30, 2008 12:21 AMThis is an absolutely amazing shot! The even greater thing is I arrived in Toronto for my convocation that day and i actually saw this streak from my window that night!
Could you possibly send me/post a widescreen (1024x768) version of this? I'd love this as my wallpaper :)
