Storm's Arrival Over Capitol Reef National Park, Torrey, UT (September 13, 2016, 8:03 pm)

This was a combination of luck and perseverance. I could see regular lightning occurring with this approaching storm. I captured dozens of photos using a "relatively" slow shutter speed, hoping that I would happen to snare one where a lightning strike occurred. Of the 54 photos, only one had a bolt of lightning, but one is all I needed!
