Hey, be glad you got a bolt on film! I've been trying to get something
like that for years and never yet got anything worth mentioning. If
that was during the daytime then it's quite a feat to catch a strike. I
think there's enough detail in the dark parts to hold the attention and
give context to the shot.
There's generally thunderstorms in London around May/June time - I'll
have to have a go at some photography then and see if I can finally get
one big strike on film.
