You got the strike. Great shot.
Lightning runs by its own rules. It doesn't pose in a studio & wait till the lighting and framing is just right.

EXIF tells it all. Get yourself
Opanda EXIF viewer and you view the EXIF information with the image.
BTW, looks like it was a D70 with a 12mm lens, 30 seconds at f/9.

Great shot Owen...
Lightning scares me.. Last weeka t work we had a light vehicle, Front End Loader and a CAT 785 Water truck hit along with one driver..
Scary stuff

Thanks guys. It scares the heck out of me too! I was planning to go down the end of the road where it was a bit more open... but after talking to the neighbours I chickened out and ran back into the garage

Honestly this was the fourth shot of the night. I was in the garage for about 45 minutes, it was just an amazing sight! Flashes every couple of seconds.

This is a great Lightning shot Owen.
Aren't you glad the trypod does not jump as much as us when you get the bang
