Lightning would certainly be an exciting phenomenon to photograph! It's the perfect time of year for me: Tornado Season! Of course there are the issues of how to trigger the shutter in time. And personal safety . . .

Lighting, on the other hand, requires a little more patience in setup and a little less risk I think. I had a pretty neat opportunity recently with a fantastic glowing sunset reflected on a wet road but I only made a quick snap of it (and of course it's not eligible due to timing).

Nevertheless, I'm pretty excited about the topic and am eager to find a subject.

Ed. Holy crap! Here's some guy* who got several examples of Lighting and Lightning in one photo yesterday! Too bad he's (presumably) not a TMO member Also not enough exif info preserved to tell if it was taken with a phone.
