Lightning Strike

We have had a couple of stormy nights here in New Zealand this week. I grabbed my camera and braved the storm in an attempt to capture some lightning through my lens. Although it's not a groundbreaking photograph, I was pleased to have caught this bolt as most of the light show was sheet lightning and bolts just weren't visible.... until this one.
