Nice display of patience Michael. Were you using progressive capture on a digital camera or just manually taking shot after shot until one caught a strike? You did a nice job of framing this with foliage, apart from the pesky road sign(?). This shot also really captures the ground-up nature of lightning that isn't usually apparent. Good capture and thanks for sharing it!
nice shot.. I have a 640x480 off of a mavica camera that I took of lightning but not near as great as this shot :) so I understand your patience :) great job :)
