Atmospheric Electricity

I was driving home last night and the sky was lit up with constant lightning. This was a chance to get my first photo of lightning. I ran inside, grabbed my camera and tripod, and jumped back in the car to find a dark spot with a wide view of the sky. After setting up the tripod and, and adjusting the camera, the storm was on it's way northeast and my chances were fading. I did manage to get one decent photo, out of a hundred or so shots. The thing with lighting is you just have to press the shutter, (long shutter speeds of course) and hope there is lighting when your shutter is open. When you get lucky and they both match up, it's pretty exciting.
