The first strike of lightning hits the ground.

Observing from Chester, United Kingdom

A great capture Bill, but a bit risky don't you think?

great timing of the shot for 1/13 sec exposure - it has come out really nice - love the reflection of the lightning in the water...

DarK Elf - it was a totally unprepared for thing I was walking the back end of the farm when the storm blew up from an unexpected direction - so everything was hand held and I just shot reams of images in the hope I would get some lightning.
