The bolt makes the shot. I was watching some storms (very active with lightning) move towards the backyard canyons yesterday. I shot this handheld by just keeping the camera held to my eye and shooting when I saw lightning (1/140s exposure). That actually does work sometimes, but it better be an active storm! - Harding County, New Mexico, USA #NewMexico #landscape #landscapephotography #nature #scenicsnature #outdoors #lightning #storm #thunderstorm #canyon #cloud #clouds #Fujifilm #FujifilmXT5 #Tamron

Most lightning bolts are less than 10 miles long and tend to strike vertically. But in 2017, a horizontal bolt flashed 515 miles from Texas to Kansas and has officially been confirmed as the world’s longest. @ScienceAlert has the story:

📸 Lightning over the Volcano of Water

Captured in July 2019, this lightning bolt strikes from antennas near the summit of Volcán de Agua in Guatemala.

Lightning forms when storm clouds build up electric charge from collisions between ice and snow. The discharge heats air hotter than the Sun’s surface.
