Very impressive images Brian. Did you use a lightning trigger?

As I mentioned, I simply shot 4K video and extracted frames as images.

Capturing with video sounds easy but lightning doesn't know anything about video and frame rates, i.e.: it happens over several frames, between frames, etc.
See the slow motion video clip at: https://flic.kr/p/2nCJ5Ji for an example. Some processing required to get a good final image, although Premiere Elements definitely helps.
Thanks.

I wonder how big an electrolitic capacitor would
have to be to store the energy from a lightning bolt...
Maybe 4 or 5, 40 foot lengths of railway line
erected vertically, and joined at the top, connected
to the input terminal of the proposed gigantic capacitor....
That would have to be able to power ones home for quite a time.

It would be nice if lightning always came in same quantity but I suspect at some point a strike would blow that capacity, designed for an average strike, to hell and gone!

Why would you design it for an average strike?
Why would you not design it to store many strikes?
Why would you not design it with an overflow?
Why would you not design the overflow to go into the grid for credit to your account?
You have not thought the process through... have you... bwanana. "bwa".

I've learned from long, long experience to NEVER trust Mother Nature... She'll throw in that 1 in 1000 occurrence that'll blow your best plans to hell and gone!

Yeah, but man still goes to sea.
Tornadoes raze houses... so you better live in a tent bud because
nature'll "throw in that 1 in 1000 occurrence that'll blow your best plans to hell and gone!" bud.
People still drive cars even though there were 38,824 road fatalities in 2020... (In the US).
Just because you could be "that 1 in 1000 ocurrence" you must stop traveling in a car...
because of your own logic and reason... better get a bicycle... no hang on, you cant do that either
you might get run over... same goes for pedestrians.
Looks like you must stay indoors (in the basement) for the rest of your life, if you want to
maintain the integrity of what you say. LOL
