Nice work! Awesome branches coming out of the main bolt. What settings did you use?

Hi Scott, you posted this shot about 2 hours ago...was this the storm of today. I was on HWY 15 coming from San Diego and saw a few bolts. Actually stopped at Miramar MCAS and got a few snaps of some jets landing. Still have to look at them and see how they came out with the overcast sky.

Wow - 1/100. Time exposures for lightning I can understand, but to hit the button at just the moment for 1/100 ... luck was on your side. Or you have a predictive power that I would like you to lend me some time.

Great timing and exposure. Have you done lightning before or just happened to be in the right place at the right time?
