Very nice Jay-qu In addition to being an amateur astrophotographer i'm also a bit of a storm chaser. You captured this well. What aperture were you running? Also if it was dark like it looks like it was you can do longer exposures and not run the risk as much of having a strike hit in the fraction of a second between frames. It happens more often than I like My typical settings for lightning are 15-30 seconds exposures, ISO 100-200, Aperture F/9 to F/22 depending on how close the strikes are. Again great job and remember the first rule in lightning photography- stay safe.
