Lightning over Paynesville

Great lightning show last night. Only had to step out the front door to see this.

Unlike in the northern tropics this weather is uncommon in this part of Australia consequently I have had little experience at capturing it. I used the old fireworks setting of "bulb" and let the light paint the sensor before shutting down, hit or miss and out of 40 shots I kept 6.

D700 with 35mm Nikkor.
