Thanks. You know lucky plays a big role in capturing a shot like this. I had 37 other tries that missed.

I started out just trying for a shot of the building. Then a storm started rolling in from the Everglades to the west of the city. As it got closer the lightening became more intense and the storm was sort of behind the building. I was taking 30 second exposures and hoping I'd get lucky. The last shot came through. I fully admit, this is just dumb luck.

Thanks. I tried this at a different location last weekend---I came home with more than 70 shots of nothing! Just black sky. Last night I tried 37 times and got lucky with this one...

As I figure it, that makes my keeper rate less than 1%. Am I good or what?

Thanks. As for the timing---it was a 30 second exposure, the strike was less than a second...

Thank you. I'm on a roll----I've got three lightening strikes this year. That is 3 more than in the last 3 years combined.
