its rare to see lighting on pic with such a nice landscape, it's nicely composed and even those 'branches' of thunder-bolt (or whatever they're called) are nicely spread so it was just a perfect moment ;)

I never tried to shoot a lightning but I heard how difficult it can be.. you managed to it perfectly, great work :)
Stephane Polteau  It was full moon with a coming storm. Set up was 3-4mn at f/5.3. Ground lit by the moon light and captured one strike. Took 3 pictures and ran for cover...
