Neat capture and of course delightful backdrop.

Could you send that t-storm up our way? Not sure UPS can deliver it however.....

Great job Bob! It's really cool how the 2 strikes are parallel to each other.

Thanks Jim. I thought it was pretty cool to with both strikes in one image.

Bob, this is a nice catch. On my recent trip to Utah, I saw tons of lightenings but it's hard to catch.

Oliver.
The only way to do this is with a lightning trigger. When they work they are really cool.

Another method is to use ND filters to increase exposure time.

I have the Miops device. It works pretty well once you dial in the sensitivity setting for the conditions.

Bob,
This is true but it des not work very well. I tried it before I purchased the trigger and I can say from experience this method works but very poorly.

I don't disagree . . . the lightning trigger is preferred but I have had some success with long exposures. I've had my Miops since it was first launched as a kickstarter.
