A reader called Haresh sent me the picture above which he took last night around 8:45PM. I checked and the picture isn’t retouched, its straight out of the camera. That looks like a pretty big lightning strike.
Picture was taken with an Olympus E-520 with an f-stop of 5.6 and shutter speed of 5 seconds. Location is Salmiya.

What A Shot !
Seriously what a shot! He got that in a 5s shutter speed??? Thats one big strike.
So lucky, I kept the camera on the tripod facing the Sky, holding the remote in my hand waiting for the light, And I couldn’t catch any.
Could I have a hi-res version please?
Great picture!!
Really Amazing Picture…! It Shows natural beauty of lightning..!
Good work …Haresh
Haresh…cool capture..
Yesterday salmiya was getting pounded with lightning, not sure about the rest of Kuwait.
RAIDEN WINS!
FLAWLESS VICTORY!
FATALITY!
There was one particularly loud thunder. If I hadn’t known it was raining, I would be fetal positioned in my bath tub.
did anyone hear about buildings being struck frying the electronics?
I wonder where was the touchdown.
That sucker was probably the one that caused the electricity to trip in my building yesterday (in Salmiya).
Awesome pic indeed.

Nice shot! can we have the original one?! or at least a higher resolution one?

Great pic, just saw the same pic on Arab Times Front page today, i assume Haresh might have sold them for a good buck.
