Thanks Greg, ISO/400, F/10, 3 sec Exp. I use the intervalometer and just let the camera keep shooting. I keep the mirror lock on too. It is a bit like shooting star trails but less exposure:)

Thanks Russ. I have a pile of shots like this but I did not want to crowd up the space on AstroGab with lightning. If you are interested you can see more on my site. www.billionplanetsquest.com

I see you have had your fair share of weather up there not to mention all the smoke from the fires. Monsoon here has been good to us this year. We are at least getting some much needed rain here in Glendale. The past few years nothing has really reached us. We live right on the North west corner of Glendale. The storms of the past 10 years just peater out before thay reach us.

Very cool! How long do you leave the shutter open? I'm assuming that you just leave it open a while and hope to catch something, right?

Excellent shot. Love the multiple bolts.
