Lucky Strike

Description

One day this past August a wicket storm cell moved into town. We do not see clouds this menacing very often. My wife and I packed up the kids and drove to what was the best spot to see this storm head on. A semi truck was coming from behind so I thought it would be a good idea to try to get a shot of the cloud with the truck blurred to give the sense of motion. Well, as soon as I clicked the shutter button, this flash of lightning struck at the same time as the truck passed. Needless to say, I did a dance in the rain that I actually captured that. It was a lucky shot, a shot I'll most likely never get again.
