One night while I was in Minnesota, a fast-moving thunderstorm rolled through. 
We could watch the storm unfold through the window in our hotel room.
When I was growing up, I loved watching the storms over Lake Superior. And I certainly enjoyed watching this one.

Through My Lens 
Nice captures. That’s one thing I’ve not managed yet, catching lightning.
Amazing photos! I think of blood vessels when I see them. I never knew all of the twists and turns that lightning can look like.
Totally amazing captures! I used to love watching lightning out across the valley when we lived in Utah. These days it’s extremely rare for us to get any here on the coast.
Almost worth having storms if they give you great pictures like these.
Amazing pictures! What fun capturing a storm.
Wow! Those lightning shots are really fantastic! 🙂
Amazing captures. What were your settings?
Thanks, Carissa. I was experimenting. I had the camera on a tripod, at f/11 and used a 20 second exposure. I just kept releasing the shutter hoping to capture some streaks. If I had a really good streak, I would cover the lens with my hand. I don’t do enough lightning shots to really know what I’m doing. :-). It was dark enough outside so I could keep the shutter open without over-exposing. I deleted a LOT of photos.
