But if i stayed out and captured 10 more ordinary strikes and combine them it has become a very nice combination of may strikes,and becomes a pretty picture, there is nothing wrong with that and they do look good.

It is not a Lightning strike, one frame capture.

Hi Leon, even the single frame lightning strike shot can be immersed in trick photography. I have taken a few lightning shots myself, I set the camera so as not to overexpose the background but using 20 second exposures. With a good storm this can result in recording multiple strikes on a single frame.
