I finally got the chance to take a good lightning photo. How does it look?

I don't know how the heck you did that, but that is awesome.

Thanks! I had to wait for almost 2 years for a perfect night with plenty of lightning and no rain. I set my camera for 3.4 second exposures and took about 70 photos in 45 minutes. Lots of patience

I don't see it. That doesn't mean it's not there - I just don't see it.
