f/5, 4 seconds, iso 320. taken in total darkness without a tripod. It was a 4 second exposure but all the bolts happened at the same time. the intensity of the light showed the raindrops frozen in time in this 100% crop..

I wonder what your shot would look like if the exposure was dialed down some?  PP with -2.25 exposure, shadows lightened #1b  Mike R, P.E. ...iMac 27"(i7), iPad2, iPhone14Pro, AppleTV4K, MacBook

And since you dont need to be wide open, I set the Av to around 5.6 or so. This reduces the chance of a bright bolt overexposing. But I agree..thats a little close. My Gallery
