If you are lucky, and patience, even with a simple point-and-click camera, you will be able to catch a lightning.

Here are the original Exif data for the picture: Camera: Canon, Exposure: 0.002 sec (1/500), Aperture: f/2.2, Focal Length: 7.2 mm, Exposure Bias: 0/3 EV, Flash: Flash did not fire, Compressed Bits per Pixel: 5 bits, Exposure Mode: Manual.

Wow. I am so jealous! My point and shoot camera has never captured anything like that. Maybe that reflects the photographer. I hope not!
cool!!
but dun u afraid that the lightning might catch you??
Michela, luck plays a part. I took the picture during intense lightning activities. After 20 minutes of trying, i finally got this single shot.
Callister,
Nope… I stayed indoor.
