A visitor from United States posted Mon January 23, 2006:Some asked how I got it. Minolta Maxxum 7/Tamron 28-200. 8 second exposure at F9.5 using self timer since I don't have the remote release. This was 1st attempt, next 7 got nothing. Provia 100. Small bolt to the left was 1st strike followed immediately by the big bolt you see.
