This was my first time trying to photograph lightning. A pretty decent storm came through Central Ohio, knocking our power out for a few hours (which is why the photo wasn’t uploaded right away, LOL). I missed at least 5-6 really nice strikes, and really wasn’t happy with this one. It’s pretty difficult keeping the lens open for a few seconds and capturing it. I caught one large one, but the lens was open so long the entire picture was way too bright.
Nikon D50: ISO 200 , f 19, 6 sec with Quantaray 18-50mm lens
