Good Job in capturing these wonderful shots... the time frame to get a shot like this is very short and you captured it well... Keep up the good work.

Awesome lightning photo Eric, mind sharing some details on how you went about photographing it?

I heard of lightning triggers, but I also heard it chews through film like there's no tomorrow. I guess digital would really help in this regard!

Beautiful photos

Thanks to all of your nice comments.

I used a 1D Mark II w/24-70 f/2.8L USM lens at 24mm. Settings were bulb exposure, f/8-f/11 and ISO 100-400. Used a tripod, of course. Only adjustments to images was exposure tweaks, web reduction and a touch of sharpening at the end. The colors turned out very naturally with the Mark II AWB.

Both are great Eric! A very nice lightning bold you have captured there.
Also the colours in the thundercloud are great.
Impressive display of forces of nature.
