    Nice work mate. Did you time lapse expose this ?

  • drec replied

    30 secs at f4, left my remote for bulb at home and missed half the show due to work. pea size hail at midnight. would have been wicked down pt danger way, watching 5 bolts at once over cooly direction.

    Awesome shot. Love the light in the mid-section creating a juxtaposition with the more prevalent dark colorations and the lightening bolt. How did you time it so exactly for the bolt?
