The wildest light I have yet photographed on a coastline! I shot in continuous/burst mode back to back, 0.5 sec exposures (no lightning trigger) catching nearly every strike (countless) for about an hour, with a full composition and constant retreating water.
Below the image are some low-rez (bad quality) iPhone shots of me shooting (for perspective).
The first comment in the thread is a link to a YouTube SHORT showing how ridiculous this monster was!

You got me good with this one Mark, really has a fantastic feel to it, over the top wonderful energy! Wow this really is an outstanding capture and presentation
