I have yet to attempt to capture lightning (but I'm dying to try it!). This looks so familiar - of course I have spent the last 30+ summers on Topsail Island, NC, so I know how these storms can manifest. Great capture.
really liking the dark purples in your image and the way it contrasts with the white lightening and the yellows of the room/house lights, and the small line of the green light which softly cuts thru the middle, all really nice!
