Word of caution, when shooting lightning, IT IS DANGEROUS!!!! AND YOU MUST BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL AT ALL TIMES – A STORM CAN TURN QUICKLY. LEAVE YOURSELF A WAY OUT. I do not advise anyone to attempt lightning shots due to the inherent danger it poses, but for me – I always make sure I am on the trailing edge of the storm (IE: Behind it, where it just came from and ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS leave myself a way to get into a vehicle, or out of the open quickly).

After about fifteen minutes, the lightning backtracked and was heading south, so I called it a night – no sense in getting stupid.

Here is an image from the effort!
