Take 327

Daytime lightning shots are difficult without a lightning trigger. After 327 shots the lightning finally struck while the shutter was open. I kept the shutter tight at f/22 and the speed at 1/25 at ISO 100 to keep it open as long as possible, but it still took a while before nature cooperated. It started raining where I was standing about 45 seconds after I got the shot.
