Very neat!

Lightning is one of the things I really want to capture. This year we haven't had many storms around here in our months which are usually full of lightning, and I haven't been in the right place at the right time to try. It's still one of my goals, so I love seeing others' photos to keep me motivated!

To capture the lightning was very easy.
It just takes a long exposer and alot of waiting
Also I use an online satelite that tracks all lightning strikes around the UK (which kind of helps ).

Lightning has to be one the toughest things to photograph, glad you found an easy way to help capture it. We just don't have that type of lightning here in Trinidad, so I always enjoy other people's capture of it. Well done
