This is the actual lightning bolt that had struck around 330 in the morning that hit a couple of power lines near graham and killed the power to many near by residents! This particular bolt struck the power lines about 2 blocks from my house!!! It came with a fierce crackling and loud bomb sound shortly after, you could see the power line voltage light brighten up also! Even after this Picture was taken more lightning bolts continued to strike the ground only a few blocks away! *If you got any questions go ahead and leave a comment for me to answer* :)
Very nice photo Jacob. What kind of camera and shutter speed? thanks
thanks stu, and i have a 8.0 sony camera and i had the shutter on i think 3.0
why were you up at 3 in the morning? anyways, nice job! I couldn't do that because im terrified from thunder and lightning so i would have probaby at best gotten a blurry picture from it as i was running for the covers!
