Totally awesome capture! Did you guess that the lightning would strike somewhere around there? The chances of getting a lightning strike in that particular angle and during just 5 seconds of exposure isnt exactly great
Unless you had some mother of a storm there..

Anyway, great job!

Thanks a lot.. It was a pretty active storm so I knew roughly where it was gonna be, and i guess a bit of luck was also involved too

Thanks for the and the watch

I tried getting some shots from inside too but i was totally unsuccesful - clearly you werent though.

Nice work youve got here (in your gallery)!

Yep, I love thunderstorms! They're difficult to shoot, and they rarely come along at night.. I was lucky to get this shot. Thanks for the comments

Wow, good job. It's very hard to capture lighting but you seem to be an expert because you've done it many times and the photos look wonderful!

Yeah all my exposures are 5-6 seconds because i live in the city, so i'm stuck with it. Its hard to get out of the city to take pictures because you don't know where or when to go so it's a butt! Go through so many pictures when doing 5 sec exposures. Good Job though!!!

Thanks I checked out your gallery.. your lightning photos are spectacular! In the UK we don't get the huge supercells you get in the US.. only feeble things, so I usually need a longer shutter speed to make sure I get the shot.

And I really like pictures of lighting. ^_^ Awesome. I sat outside last night in the rain watching a thunderstorm. Wasn't the smartest thing in the world, but it was pretty cool.
