Thanks Brent, Katherine, Shirley, Yes, wide open skies, if a person's eyes still work good, it is possible to see for at least 100 miles from a vantage point. This streak of lightning was probably at least 3 miles or farther away. It was definitely far enough away that I could not hear the thunder. -- Bob K.

wow. I never get to see both the beginning and the end of lighting. You must have some very large and open skies there, Bob. Just great!

great capture and it's naturally B&W Katherine

Great streak lightning shot! Good catch! I love the colors of the surrounding cloud too! The trick is to not let it strike you in the head! ;o)

Hi Geophoto, You are correct, that is exactly what I did and I got lucky. Thanks -- Bob K.

Very impressive. How do you make a picture like this? The exif shows a shutter speed of 30 s. Do you "aim" at a part of the sky with a lot of lightning, open the shutter and hope that the lightning will happen at that point?
