thanks montie!
i love this photo too!

had just come into this hotel room in naples.
put the suitcase down, stepped out onto the balcony and saw lightning.
immediately dropped everything else and set the camera up for a long
exposure shot.
this image was the 30 second shot.
the strikes were coming on average every 90 seconds.

also have a successful 10 second shot once i could time the strikes better.
it looks more traditional and thus most people like the 10 second shot more.
will upload that too.

Terrific capture/timing!  I'd hate to be on the end of that bolt!
