Nice pics. Last night was absurd down here, too. From like 9 till 2 it was CONSTANT lightning to the north and west. No rain or wind though. Very strange.

I was on full zoom with a 250mm for some shots, at 100iso I had to shift to over 30seconds at the lowest f-stop so 200 and 15 worked. and over 30 seconds I have to be with the camera with a timer... this way I can lock the remote to continous and walk away.

awsome pics matt, wish i was able to capture those wild ones you see some times. but your comment on how lightning strikes is not exactly correct. it just appears to travel from ground up but it actually come from the sky downwards.
