Lightning and Storm in Daylight - a photo on Flickriver

The lightning stroke traveled out from the main body of the storm and connected with the ground about 1/2 mile in front of me. I was extremely lucky to capture such a shot, as I was holding the shutter open on my Olympus OM-2S for about 3-4 seconds at a time. I wasted a considerable amount of film but this shot makes it more than worth the trouble.
