Description
Obviously wasn't going for composition in this one
I was simply pointing the camera to the area with the most lightning. I ended up catching one of the only cloud-to-ground strikes of the night, along with a few faint crawlers

Great capture! I have always contemplated trying to photograph lightning. It seems difficult!

You should definitely try. It takes a lot of patience, but the results are great

The crawlers seem like cobwebs, because they're fainter than the cloud-to-ground, and more widespread. It looks really cool!

the crawlers are some of my favorite ones.. you can follow them from beginning to end.

Indeed. And they're generally slow, so you've got time to capture them
