Naw, keep shooting, you'll get it faster than you'd think. A big part of lightning shots is to be at the right place and right time. I saw the storm moving in durring my softball game and noticed it was full of lightning. I subbed myself out (I am a player/coach) and just watched where it was headed and hustled my butt out in front of it. Wasn't quite there in time but I am kinda glad because It was close as it was and I'm kinda scared of it because my dad was hit by it 10 years ago.
