Nice, do you use a lightning detector?

Thanks everyone! Bruce - no lightning detector, though I have been thinking about buying one. This was a 30 second exposure with my 70mm prime stopped down to something like f/7. Super dark night and there were ground and cloud strike every 10 seconds or so. Thanks for looking.
