Description
Canon Digital Rebel XSi18-55mm kit lens
A bolt of lightning crawls across the sky as a storm passes just to the southeast. I really wish the shot could have been composed more to the left, but my neighbor's house/tree were in the way. I was sure lucky these bolts crawled into frame
Please tell me what you think!

This is really cool. How did you take this? Was it luck? or a lot of pictures until you got one?

Thanks!
I used a 30 second shutter, so all I really had to do was wait for the lightning

I think its pretty cool you got the shot at all really.
I don't think we get lightening like that here in NZ. Its usually just a flash of light.

Yeah, typically it's just cloud-to-ground stuff. The cloud-to-cloud is my favorite kind though

very nice colors, it is a shame you have obstacles to avoid though, you could open up a lot of possibilities without them.

High speed lightning footage? Sounds awesome. I recently found video of a guy that trapped lightning in a block: [link]
