Hiroshi Sugimoto’s Lightning Fields

Hiroshi Sugimoto’s Lightning Fields Day "Images from ‘Lightning Fields,’ an exhibition of new photographs by Hiroshi Sugimoto on view at Fraenkel Gallery in San Francisco from September 10 to October 31, 2009.  Each image is a unique document of an electrical current. Hiroshi Sugimoto uses a 400,000-volt Van De Graaff generator to apply an electrical charge directly onto his film."

Nice photographs but personally, I prefer natural lightning photos.

Some photographs of sprites are now available. Very cool - sprites are electrical discharges that travel between clouds (upwards) to the stratosphere towards space, not downwards in the troposphere towards the earth.
