Was looking out into sky while shutter was open and didn't notice any lightning strikes. Was very surprised when I saw this on the LCD screen afterward!

Um, for everyone who was wondering what the "grid" was, it was a window screen. I didn't exactly get 1000 tries to get this pic, so I hadda use what I got, which was a shot thru a screen...
WOW, (needs to be repeated WOW!!) {{through a screen door?}} Don't think I like the screen pattern, otherwise PERFECTION!!!! Photo 10 Creativity 10 B&W 10 total 10 (isn't there a number higher than 10?)
Opening the screen would have made this shot a lot better IMO. Also cropping so that the lightning is not right in the center would have been my personal choice.
i'm guessing this was taken through a window or screen door. maybe that look is intentional, but i think it would have been better without it - it's a distraction to me.
This is EXCELLENT. I am going to try this myself at some point this summer. It looks like you shot this through a screen window maybe? This shot is indeed awesome and would be even moreso without the screen... great job!
First, you did an amazing (almost unbelievable) job catching this motion, completely in-frame. Second -- did you try taking any shot with the screen in focus and the lightnight not? I'd like to see those if you did.
