Lightning

Shot of lightning from a storm in Canberra last night. Its been cloudy here for so long with no chance of viewing the heavens at least storms provide a bit of fun.
Taken from under the front porch in the poring rain. Canon 350D, 18mm focal length, 1600 ISO, f 22 for 5 seconds hoping to catch lightning bolt by chance.

Nice, I like the comparison of the tree branch to the lightning strike.

Thanks.
I didn't have any choice about the field of view, this was the only dry spot with any view of the storm. Lucky it turned out as good as it did.

Great shot Chris! I'm hoping to get some more of these over the summer.

Cheers,
