Cool... was this taken yesterday? It was pretty nasty last night... That slightly smoky cloud around the lightning is freaky.

WOW STU!! Nicely done!! Many many many years ago with my old Chinon 35mm I did an experiment using the bulb mode and managed to get a shot of 5 strikes of lightning. It had a bit of reciprocity in the colours but it just so added to the overall effect. It's on my wall downstairs. Have no idea where the negative is.

Wow! That's great! A couple of months ago I watched a storm sweeping down Lake Biwa and thought how amazing it would be to capture the lightning on film, but it must be one of the hardest shots to get!
