That lightning was coming about every five seconds or so and it was just right for shooting I suppose, no rain where I was and I was not able to see the cloud. That last shot's exif says the shutter was open for 26 seconds so half of that was a black frame noise reduction, so all three of those lightning strikes were in 13 seconds, I believe with a 64 ISO so it was pretty bright. It was just one of those lucky nights. The lightning looks like it was real close, but it was really about three or four miles away.
