I know the top of that hill is at least 15 miles away but those fingers of lightning just kept coming my way!
This is just one shot. I just got the camera setup and this was the first exposure. I went inside after that.

That is incredible. Absolutely amazing. Do you mind if i download it and use it as my desktop picture?

By the way, how did you shoot this one?

Always wonder what kind of luck you need to capture lightning. Great job!

Nice shot, glad the lightning didn't get any closer before you got inside.
