恋愛は人を傷つけるものだ。しかしこの10代カップルは例外だったようだ。
8月6日、カリフォルニア州クレアモントで散歩をしていたディランさんとレクシィさんのカップルは、落雷を受けた。しかし、医師の説明では、手をつないでいたおかげで激痛も大怪我もなく助かったという。KCAL-TVが伝えた。
ポモナ・バレーイ医療センターの内科医ステファン・レイノーソさんは、「手をつないでいたから、2人の身体を流れた電流を分散されたのです」と語った。
2人がクレアモントの並木通りにいたとき、激しい雷雨に見舞われた。
レクシィさんは「次の瞬間、私たちは地面に倒れていて、もうありえないぐらいおびえてお互い見つめ合っていました」と話した。
ディランさんはKCAL-TVに、落雷の衝撃について「どんと押された感じ」で「金属か何かで頭を殴られたみたい」と説明した。レイノーソ医師によると、2人の健康状態は良好だという。
2人は今、自分たちには「電撃の愛」があるそうだ。うん、若いっていいよね。

Ride the Lightning(01 of53)
What a thunderstorm tonight in Halle... As I saw the lightnigs at the horizon, I took my gear and drove to the market place in Halle and this is the resault. I think its not bad for my first lightning photos but I still have to learn. First thing is to buy a rainjacket and a cover for my camera for the next time... :D\n\nPress L to view in large...\n\nNikon D5000 with Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR\nISO 200, 35mm, f8.0, 4s (credit:Hallenser/Flickr)

2003-Aug-23 - Toronto thunderstorm\n\nIncluded in this bit of background on my interest in photography, I mention a couple of the ways that this particular photo has been used. It\'s curious to see how it has taken on a life of it\'s own, by virtue of the fact that I had decided to share it (under a Creative Commons license) with others.\n\nUpdate (2008-Aug-27): I\'m trying an experiment with this shot, on account of the tremendous feedback that I\'ve received. Something that I\'ve been curious about for a while is CafePress.com. So, as a test this photo has been made available for purchase as a framed panel print.\n\nThankyou everyone for your kind compliments. I must admit, I\'m really quite surprised by the amount of attention and fantastic feedback that this photo has received. (credit:krunkwerke/Flickr)
Lightning over Bristol(06 of53)
Perfect chance to test out my new 450d. It wasn\'t raining on me, but I wish I\'d charged my battery so I could have really taken advantage of the storm.\n\nLightning over Bristol by http://www.flickr.com/photos/talkie_tim is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License.

Close Lightning(07 of53)
Lightning crashes\n\nA few hints to the ppl who would like to take these kind of pics: \n\n1. Use the M-setting, that is Manual aperture, Manual Exposure, Manual ISO settings, Manual zoom-factor and most important: Manual focus. (This one was @ f2.8, 30s, 100ISO)\n\n2. Determine your zoomfactor (wider is better, you can crop afterwards), lock your zoom if possible, and then focus at infinity on manual. For this you may use a street-light at decent distance to auto-focus on, an then switch to manual focus. If left on autofocus your camera won\'t be your best friend for this...\n \n3. Shoot in RAW: This pic was actually heavy over-exposed, but a little bit HDR-tonemapping made it quite acceptable.\n\n5. Shoot at large aperture. Ok, it makes focussing a bit more fragile, but you really need the contrast (for capturing those less-bright tunnels) unless you\'re in really, really close. It beats higher ISO-settings anytime...\n\n4. Shoot lowest ISO: 100, 200 maybe 400, larger makes it difficult for post-processing. \n\n6. Test your settings: shoot a pic at say, 10sec, take a look and determine if it is dark enough (taken that you didn\'t get a flash ;). If it\'s pitch-dark you can go to 30 sec or even bulb-settings.\n\n7. It\'s better to over-expose than to under-expose (darkening the shot works, lighting up will not!)\n\n8. Don\'t get struck with lightning, that could potentially hurt your equipment\n\nGood luck\n\nTotal Creative Commons (if you leave a message :) (credit:zoutedrop/Flickr)

space lightning(16 of53)
Being taken with an automatic digicam, it totally overexposed the picture. It was pretty burnt, so I had to apply extreme contrast and get the brightness down in order to see anything. This is the result. Best in large! (credit:kainet/Flickr)

Bolt From The Blue(53 of53)
...well, technically a \'bolt from the grey\' I suppose. This shot depicts the outer fringe of another storm moulded into shape by the mountains of the Mogollon Rim. There were blue skies immediately on the other side of this narrow spalling rain shower; which appeared to be where the hot and cold air were meeting to generate such fine electrical displays.
