good shot. Love the fact that the lightning is all moving towards the centre

That is beautiful.. Lighting is hard to capture, you did a great job

Thanks! I was quite lucky though - it seemed as though the storm was coming to an end, and I was about to pack it up. This was one of the final 15sec exposures, and about 12 seconds into the exposure, the sky just lit up from all directions! It was fantastic! (Needless to say I nearly crapped myself!)

Seems that the one bolt of lightning was REALLY close, and unfortunately I wasn't shooting in RAW mode, so it's pretty burned out. Not going to complain too much about it though - This was the first time I've ever tried night shooting, and to have captured lightning, now that's a REAL bonus!

Thanks. As I said, it was quite by chance that the entire sky lit up like that. Up until that point, there had only been a lot of individual bolts. Worked out rather well in the end!
