We had a wave of storms come thru the area last night and I was able to capture a lot of strikes. This was the best and I believe the bet I have taken so far!

Thanks all. Lightning has become one of my favorite things to photograph. When storms are active I tend not to get much sleep..

Magnificent photo.

Years ago I built a lightning shutter trigger out of an old flash unit to mount on my MZ-50.

Alas, we don't get too many storms here and then there's always too much cloud cover to get a clean shot.

Having spent hours during our last thunder storm, getting soaked and not getting one lightning flash, I salute your effort.
