Amazing, lucky timing or were you hitting the rapid fire button?

 

[Bobsyeruncle]

Wow! Stunning shot

 

[Ainsley Bennett]

Seahorse, I used long exposures of around 20-30 seconds to increase my chance of capturing the lightning. The main cloud structure had just passed over me so I knew a strike was imminent

 

[SaintSLR]

Great shot. Would love to get a shot like that

 

[PD_BARBS]

All said already, absolutely amazing shot.

 

[Jao]

That is really quite spectacular, the lightening is well recorded within a very intelligently composed set of picture elements, no mean feat to have achieved this, respect!
