Electrifying by umbro10

This was a super light show days before the competition began. Comments on how to improve my lightning shooting technique would be appreciated. Minimal PP done mainly to REDUCE the intense white of the lightning. Exif file is from the top photo.

Nice shots. An idea (what I do) is to take the same exact framing with the same exposure and then combine them by using the brightest pixel. This results in images like:

You basic exposure is about right. F5.6->f8.0 at ISO 200. Shoot ISO 100 at f3.5->f5.6. By taking the brightest pixel of several shots, you will also average out the noise floor a bit.
