WOW... so surreal... I disagree though, I think the light in the corner and the flare really makes this picture stand out from most lightning shots. Personally I find the bottom a little distracting... maybe a slight higher crop leaving some vegetation in the shot but removing the orange lines would bring it to perfection.

Chris, the only aspect I adjusted was the timing. Everything else remained unchanged from the factory settings.

Les,
Did you crank down on the aperture? 22? 22+?

Thank you for your comment. I have been wanting to take a shot like this for a while, but finally lucked into it. I just picked out a thunderhead, that had been active, focused as well as I could, and left the shutter open for 30 seconds. Understand that the coulds were fairly dark, but the ligntning inside them "lit" them up. Luckily, a good bolt sprang out, and it showed up like you see here. I thought about taking the moon out of the upper left corner, but I really liked the feel of how it filled in the open space. But, I might try to do a little cropping and re-post it sometime. Thanks again.

I'm envious of your capture, I've tried this several times and gotten nothing.
IMO, I think it might be more dramatic with a lower crop from the top just above the cloud tops, removing the light in the top left corner.
Regards,
