The sky illumination is obvious, but what caused the foreground illumination?

I was at the drag strip, just outside the gates. The race was postponed for a bit, so I went nuts. Those are light from the strip and the parking lot hitting up the foreground. Cool effect I think.

Hi Matt, These are pretty nice lightning strikes, an I agree that the light build up in the foreground looks cool. :D

It would have been even better, I think, if there had been just two or three foreground bushes lit that way.

Definately some good pics. At around 50mm, you must've been quite close. Way to go, man, you got balls.
