10 minutes of high voltage 4-11-12 Pt Lincoln

Hi all, just learnt how to combine images in photoshop. So combined 9x30 second exp I took on the 4th November during a short lightning display near Port Lincoln.

That looks really cool.
Did you use a lightning trigger? What were the exposure settings?
Cheers

Thanks Alistairsam and Niko for your comments. Alistairsam, I set the camera to take a image every 30 seconds and exposure was 30 seconds, then had to manually pick out the lightning shots.

Great shot, Lester. What was the average time interval between strikes?

Thanks David and Colin for your comments. Colin all the strikes near Pt Lincoln were within 10 minutes. Nine x 30 second exposures recorded all of it, so average= one strike per minute.
