    Great shot! I was at the Embassy Suites in Phoenix/Scottsdale (on the golf course) and watching this from the 4th floor lamenting I didn't have my Canon gear. Glad you got the shot!

    Thanks. Yeah, I was watching the weather, and it didn't look like we were going to get any action. I went to sleep, woke up to thunder, and there was so much lighting, it was like shooting fish in a barrel. Stinks you didn't have your camera, that was a great show.

    Fantastic shot! Did you use a lightning trigger by chance?

    I have been trying for years to capture a lightning strike but have never been fortunate (or quick) enough. I've been reading about lightning triggers and they seem to take the guess work out of the equation.

    Thank you for sharing!
