My thanks to all. Michael: No lightning trigger, a two-minute exposure.

Paul how could I go passed your wonderful photo of the lightning strike in the rain beneath the cloud’s precipitation shaft. I would be very pleased to capture such a photo. Can I assume from looking at the clouds it is a long exposure which suggests that you do not have or did not use a lightning trigger. Is that rain or starlight in the blue of the sky?
Quite dramatic! The rain pours down in the distance and the lightning shines its silver light upon it as they appear to dance. Great shot. From Rebecca Hill
Another beauty from you, Paul. Sure appreciate your efforts in getting these most outstanding sky dramas.
