A nice thunderstorm rolled over my apartment a couple of days ago and I snapped this shot.

    Eric this is so so awesome…I wish I was able to capture shots like this

  • Bill, you live in Florida man, Florida has more lightning strikes each year than any other state in the country. Im in NC witch is around third I think. But if your shooting an SLF that allows full control you can get shots like this.

    Its a wonder you did’nt feel the ground shake with this one, l don’t think l have ever seen such a big bolt of lightening and the arms generating off it look like roots from a tree looking for ground ! that is an awesome shot !

  • Didnt feel the ground on this one Trudi, but I have one when the bolt landed about 30 feet from me. Fortunately I was in the car, but you could feet the thud. Wish I got on camera but I missed.
