A fabulous shot and you must be quite happy to have captured the bolt when you were least expecting the seconds passing by! Frame that one.

This photo was intended to be a 12sec exposure, ISO 100, f/8. I was looking at the back of the camera at the instant of the strike, watching the seconds click off. When the lightning strike occurred, the light was so intense, that I instinctively released the button on the remote hoping not to over expose the shot. Fortunately, the 6.5 sec. exposure worked out pretty well.

Photo taken on 6/19 at 11:38pm.

You can see where the lightning "bled down" over the edge of the roof line of the 7th floor, indicating that the strike infact did hit the building. Thought this was worth a post. Thanks, Boone. :roll:

I'm sure the people on the top floor jumped out of their skin when that happened!

Great shot, you could probably make some large prints of it and mat and frame them and sell them to some of the people that live in that building.....
