All this time I've had this camera and I've never gotten a decent shot of lightning. Until now! We had a storm come through a little while ago, and it knocked out the power for two hours (a tree took out a line, started a fire, and blew a transformer). I went outside to talk to a neighbor and the cloud to cloud lightning started getting really intense, and I figured since the entire town was dark, no street lights, it would be a perfect opportunity to try my luck, so went and set up the camera. I only had three more really good bolts, two of which were ruined by passing vehicles, but I think this one is pretty sweet. Unfortunately I didn't notice the debris and raindrop on the lens, but it's still a good catch! 
What do you think?
Edit: I just noticed the board seems to have stripped the EXIF data, so in case anyone wants to know, this was taken with my Pentax K-x, with the standard 18-55mm kit lens (@18mm), ISO100, f/13, with the shutter open for 13 seconds.
