I love trying to capture lighting shots. Single captures in my opinion are the best because it shows the power so well. A double strike like what you got are not uncommon but harder to get without blowing the exposure. Awesome job!

I love how there's a good amount of context in the foreground and in the clouds/background. A lot of lightning shots are just a strike surrounded by blackness. Great timing as well :)
