Another lightning photo


I did some storm chasing last night. The clouds to the northeast were lighting up, and I could even here some thunder, so I drove in that direction. Unfortunately, after driving for 20 minutes, I did not see any lightning bolts.
Then lightning appeared to the south. I drove to a golf course on a hill and took the photograph above.

The golf course green was lit by a bright light on the clubhouse. Too bad they took the flags out of the pins.

That frame was one of three with lightning bolts. But I missed the more impressive shots with lightning over much more of the sky. I guess timing is everything.
My exposures ranged from 15 to 30 seconds. The storm never got any closer. But there are still a few weeks of summer left.
