Capturing lightning requires timing, correct settings, luck, and the proper equipment.
Well, one out of four ain’t bad.

I did some lighting photography about 15 years ago. I did 30 second shots too. And then I also stacked some in processing to get some more dramatic shots.
Spent 2 occasions out in a storm trying to get photos. Probably nearly an hour each session
Nothing I got was that good tho.
Probably something that takes a lot of sessions to land the perfect shots.
Like wildlife photography.
I never had that kind of patience.
