Thanks for the comments everyone. Glad you have enjoyed it.
I set up the camera where the most lightning action is taking place. I usually center it where the bolts are generally coming out for the cloud base. This leaves room on either side of the storm if the bolts happen off the center area of the storm. Bolts generally come out of the cloud near the rain shafts. Not always but often enough to use that as a guideline for composition.

Ok, it is very nice fantastic stunning shot, but, i have one question
I can't see that IR effect much in this shot, i feel it is like a converted to B&W, even some can do better with B&W than this, so what as the point to convert the camera to IR when the results are not that much impressive as IR? really if you didn't say IR i will never know it is IR, so how can you convince me to convert my camera to IR when i don't see something really great about it?
If i am wrong, then how can i know what is IR different than B&W in mono B&W and not of colored IR?
Also, what will be a big difference between converted camera IR and IR filters used on lenses beside taking very long time long exposure with filters? I mean the result and not the procedure or shutter time....Show more →
Thanks and the things that IR does is cuts though haze and turns foliage white. It looks pretty obvious with the foliage in the shot that it is IR. Its not as pronounced as looking at a cottonwood tree or any other large leaf tree but its still there.
There are many other benefit in shooting IR but I wont go into them at this time.
The camera have been modified with an IR filter which is much different then using an IR filter in front of the lens. The filter in front of the lens works but is not very efficient and will often take many, many seconds of exposure time to capture an image.
I use an 830NM filter on my mod and will not make a very nice "color" IR image. The super color and blue IR filters are around 560nm + -. Therefore I process them in monochrome.
