[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A summer storm was passing through eastern Nebraska and I grabbed my camera to "attempt" to take pictures of lightning. After numerous unsuccessful attempts, I was about to call it quits. This happens to be one of the last photos I took. The lightning struck just before the shutter closed and I actually thought I'd missed it. I'll never forget how loud the ensuing thunder was.

Nice photo. Your efforts were paid back. The thunder must have been close. I wonder if it left a whole in the ground. lol

Very good lightning photo - it's close enough, bright and clear. Also very good exposure control - the sky is not totally dark but not over-exposed either.
I have tried to take some lightning photos, but all the time lightnings were too far and hardly visible in the photo.

Hello Jovan, welcome to TE!
Very amazing shot for your first post, magnificent.
Good composition, lighting is nice, the lonely trees and the empty road works great.

Hi Jovan

Fantastic shot, you can almost feel the heat from that strike. Great effort.

Nice job. I have a similar photo you should check out. You may try using a tripod with a remote and setting the shutter to bulb. Take a guess at when lightning may hit and before it does hit the bulb then leave it on for a bit. It works pretty well.

wow! Well worth the effort! Thats a great catch!
