Shot this over the summer.
We were on vacation in Florida, and a storm rolled in. It was my first time with a nice vantage point to try shooting lighting. The smaller size gives absolutely no justice. Ah well.
I missed a chance at entering this over the summer because of when I got home. So, we'll see how it does.

I got about 10 different lightning strikes that night, but this one was the best (I think).
I layered them all together in this photo:
