Lightning Storm

A storm came through last night. I opened the slider and set up the camera on the tripod just inside the door. It was raining but not real hard.

 

I set the shutter speed to bulb and used the wired remote switch. I held the shutter open for about 30 seconds. When there was no flash I closed the shutter and went another 30 seconds. If there was a lightning flash I would close the shutter right after the flash. This one came out the best.

 

I would guess it was a couple miles away. There was not a lot of delay between the flash and the thunder.
