Well enough was enough. I havent had any good storms near my house at night for lightning photography so I drove 2 hours away to some storms to get some shots. I was treated to a somewhat rare event. It seems the polarity of the cloud and ground was reversed and when this happens, there is very little if any branching of the lightning. Because there is no branching, you dont get the crackle of thunder before you hear the main BOOM, so its just a BOOM. Like an explosion would sound. It was neat to hear that, and to capture these odd looking bolts, but they are not very photogenic. I like the branching.
