Thanks guys, it was certainly fun. The sky was brilliantly clear above me until about 20 deg from zenith then is was just a solid wall of clouds to the south. I was really hoping that some cloud edge lightening would start up, but no such luck.
That was a single shot Mike with all strikes simultaneous. I open the shutter and as soon as the bolts went of I closed the shutter. I'm working my way through quite a few other shots but that one really stood out
How has it been out at your place this week Jeanette. You'd be picking up a few flash/bangs out your way.
Andrew, the cells where these came from were hitting Cabulture which is about 30-40 km in a straight line.
