Snapped a nice ol' bolt of lightning a few nights ago.

Shot with a Kodak DX something...... 5MP, 16 sec exposure, blah.

Anone else got some lightning snaps?

My friend lives on top of a hill and on the night I took this pic his house was struck by lightning and burnt down.

Moral of story: Dont live on hills.

That looks pretty fucking cool, I mostly only see lame sheet lightning with no obvious forking and source.

How did you know where the lighting was going to strike?

Woah, that pic is amazing! If it was larger it would make an excellent desktop background! Kudos to you. :D *Adds +1 rep*

Sorry to hear about your friend tho :(

I can post a wallpaper sized shot if anyone is interested.

How did you know where the lighting was going to strike?

I have the fastest reflexes in the world........

Ok.....maybe not. I just set the camera to leave the shutter open for about 16 seconds. Then I sit there and hope there's a lightning strike during that 16 seconds.
