But well done for capturing that one ... I know from trying it is not easy and much patience is required ... :p

Thanks Sammy, and everyone else that commented.

No big deal really Sammy, I took about 150 shots or so, all shot in AP mode and hand held as I was just standing in my window watching the storm go by and snapping away.

Shot @
F6.3
1/30sec
18.00mm
 
Would you not get better results with a long exposure (i.e. 20s+)?

[edit] maybe 'better results' isn't quite what I meant... but at least on a longer exposure you've got a greatly increased chance of getting something (Assuming there's little to no ambient light).

Well done! Great capture!

In this part of the UK, we might get the odd spark or two, but nothing major :(
