Thanks! It's now my wallpaper.

Wow.

Truly amazing. The awesome power of nature in full display.

As I understand it, one simply stops down and opens the shutter on the camera until a few strikes have been recorded. Relatively easy with a film camera.

Not too hard with good digital cameras, either, and they provide the advantage of knowing what you got.

The challenge is being in the right place at the right time, without yourself being at risk or getting the camera soaked. The photographer in this case was standing on a hill in a thunderstorm--not unrisky behavior.
