Lightning strike in Waltham MA.



It took 800 shots on the slowest shutter speed I could hand hold to get it, but it was worth waiting for.

Nikon D70
1/6s f/16.0 at 18.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I feel your pain after trying to catch a good lightning stike myself the other weekend (even harder when you are doing it from a boat! :) Good catch!

Patience pays of. This rocks and you got it at 1/6 of a second thats FAST. Considering many folks go with a 1, 2 or 3 minute exposure to get a single strike.
