The horizontal branch, in particular, intrigues me:
itβs thinnest right in the middle!
Lightning that extends horizontally is, supposedly,
of the βpositive β variety (electrons go from ground to cloud),
and is said to be a lot more energetic than the usual
(electrons from low cloud to ground).
How much time, roughly,
between the vertical and the horizontal?
Which struck first?

Omg, this is amazing. We were just discussing @ school on Thursday how hard it is to capture such a lightning. Beautiful!

Thank you so much! Patience really pays off when shooting lightning... Ive done it a few times, and for those few times shot probably 1000 frames.
