Lightning at Sunset

This was a mixture of planning and luck. I boosted saturation a little bit, but the photo is otherwise straight from the camera. The photo was taken at around sunset which accounted for some of the vivid color in the sky.

 

To catch the image, I watched the storm to see where the lightning was flashing, then prefocused and held the camera where it seemed like the next lightning might strike. I was not sure if my reaction time would be fast enough to capture the lightning, but it seemed to work out.
