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!

(back-to-back exposures, frequently adjusting my composition based on where the lightning was striking the most and where the composition and wave action looked best)
