Hi Jeff,
The long exposure is definitely required otherwise you can't get sucha mshot of decisive moment.
Did you click it in night mode? If you just change the metering mode from pattren to pin point, what will happen? Just a few questions for my own understanding.

Hello Jeff,

Nice and sharp this lightning image! Very well done

I always want to take pictures when there is lightning, but so far still not brave enough to go outside and really do it!

Nice work Jeff,

I know it's not easy shooting lightening- but you've managed a good one here! Minimal noise... do you know what the exposure was?

Cheers!
