Lightning is usually produced by cumulonimbus clouds. The stronger the updraft the more powerful the lightning. There are about 1.4 billion lightning flashes on earth each year at a frequency of about 40 to 50 per second. This highly charged image was captured on film in Sedona Arizona USA, using a Pentax 6x7 medium format camera.

Wow what a great capture. I recently took my first lighting pictures and only got a few bolts. This is awesome.
This is a tricky endeavor and the best results come from having the right conditions and being ready because it happens quick. It's also a big thrill and you don't know what your going to get, sometimes it's a big surprise. Thanks and good luck!
