Hope you were under cover. That is one impressive series of lightening.

Thank you! And I had a Tripod with an exposure set for 30 seconds at ISO 100. Just kept taking 30 second exposures and had this one pop up right in front of me but it was a little farther than it appears. It was perfect

Not exactly unfortunately, It wasn't as close as it looks and the rest of the lightning strikes were more off into the distance. It was incredible to watch for once

Very well captured.

Thanks! It was my first time trying to catch lightning since it doesn't happen often at all here in Sac
