How long was your shutter time? That's a crazy shot - must have been one hell of a storm.

That was an 8 second shutter speed, with a 512 ND filter. It underexposed more than I wanted, but, I'm still happy with how it came out!

The storm was fast, with lots of thunder and lightning and wind, but it also blew over quickly.

I used a drone to watch it coming in, and landed it before it hit, but even then, despite being one of the bigger consumer drones you can buy, it was still struggling with the wind, and many of the shots ended up too blurred to use.

I'd say three strikes lined up perfectly is pretty much incredible already, seems the best shot ended up great!
