lightning hitting the ground
Just shot this with my new lightning trigger which i got of Ebay. How cool is it to catch the lightning hitting the ground.

Lightning doesn't hit the ground. Postive (ground) goes upwards seeking negatively charged particles. The 2 meet in the air. Good shot though. Is the lightning device expensive?

Thanks everyone for the nice reply's. Yes that is the one i got of ebay $170 works very good this was my first storm with it. You can get then for around $400 US but that is to much.

Wow! Quick shooting!
I would have thought such a photo was almost unachievable.

First the lightning then the crack of the thunder. Let me tell you scared the crap out of me. Stilled stayed out and took other 190 shots. With a change of pants in order after the night.
