Which god? As I understand, when the ancients observed something that did not have a ready explanation, they attributed it to one of several gods.

Thanks guys! I enjoy lightning photography and I’ve found that auto focus cameras usually can’t focus, meaning you have to set the lens manually. I used a Nikon D7000 (on tripod of course) and the handy little ML-13 remote. I’ve also found that you want to keep your shutter speed fairly brief, like 8-10 seconds or preferably quite a bit less. Any more than that and clouds appear smeared any stars that might be peeking through will be streaked. Normally you wait with the shutter open until you get a big bolt and then close the shutter. With a lot of incloud lightning, you must often close the shutter and start over again to keep from being overexposed. All of the incloud lightning is why I had to use higher iso, 2-3 second shutter speed and a wider aperture to make the streaks show up better. Usually you end up with a lot of images you delete and a few keepers. Surprisingly the majority of the 600 shots I took would be pretty good if not for the really good ones.
I took these shots from my front yard over about an hour. The reflection from the pond helps. Sometimes the opportunities are really short, meaning you watto keep your tripod handy. And old manual focus lenses work great. Just keep a flashlight handy.
Incidentally, all the hotspot-cloud thing did was cause the tv in the adjoining room to go haywire looking for updates. Had to reset everything.
