I have figured out how to MAKE a '7' rate at what it should be.
e-mail me and I'll explain my theory. ;)

Thanks, Tom.
It's easier than you'd think. The hard part is being lucky enough to have clear sky between you and the lightning discharges. Once that's resolved, it's just a matter of tripod bulb setting, and cable release. I focus on infinity, zoom to where it might work out well, then on a low setting (ISO 100 or 200) open the shutter...and wait. As soon as there's a bolt, I close the shutter, and immediately open it again for the next exposure.

Impressive capture,Paul!...dynamic force of nature...am equally impressed with the technical know-how you explain in a reply...if i ever get a shot of lightning,it will probably be by accident while shooting a peace banner! ;> love the illumination of the clouds...good work,my friend!

That is a most unusual lightning shot - you've got both the fork and the sheet light in the cloud. Amazing!

Cracking Shot Paul!!
I love storms as much as my 20D Baby lol. That's how much. You must tell me more about these photo comp's. I've never entered one yet, do you think I stand a chance with my photos?
Thx for your comments by the way.
