Thunder Bolt captured with a smartphone. The phone is cheap and not so good of a camera. The camera has a ZERO SHUTTER LAG feature. while High End Phones captures the moment when you touch the shutter or shot button , this poor Chinese phone shows you the image of 1 second before. so thats like , thunder ... gone 1 second... i touch the shutter on screen.... BOOOM . a perfect shot.

N.B. Don't stay under a tree when its thundering on the sky. (5 years and 627 days ago)

Thank you very much for your comments. It's not that difficult, really. Just set the cam to bulb mode, set the focus on something very far away and then turn to AF off. Then head the lens toward a spot where you see lots of lightning and press the shutter. Exposure in the darkness about 30 sec, just try with different aperture settings. Then just wait, press the shutter again and again and when a bolt comes down when the curtain is open, you've catched it.
