There were two lightning storms occuring the night I took this picture. One framed in this photo and the other just off the frame to the right. I composed a shot for one storm, but the other storm would act up. Then I composed for the other storm and the first would strike several times in a row. In an entire roll of film, this is the only shot where lightning flashed within the frame.

I heard about a lightning photo technique a few years back. Set your shutter to hold open indefinitely then use a black spray-painted piece of cardboard to uncover and cover again the lens end when lightning strikes. Never actually tried it but it might be helpful to you.

Phenomenal capture. I've never seen lightning quite like it. An "anvil-crawler," eh? Nice work!
