Another incredible one which makes me sad that I don't have a camera. I always wanted to catch a lightning

well the trick is here.. to wait until after the sun goes down.. tripod your camera.. put it on a 2-3 second shutter speed.. point it at the direction of the lightning strike and just keep shooting till you get something.. I was lucky that I had so many elements to compose the shot with.. that is what makes it dramatic.. otherwise it's just another lightning and nothing else photo...

I know, apart of that shutter speed (noting down), I figured that out myself I just need the equipment and the place...
Thank you for all your advice, it's much better than random trying without understanding what am I doing...

it is possible.. any place there are thunder storms.. I am pretty sure you have those in PA.. you have the mountains as well
