Lightning Bolt

A lightning bolt over Helsinki, Finland, in the summer of 1999. This photo was taken through a window around 11 pm with about 10 seconds of exposure, as it was pretty dark outside. This was quite a good thunderstorm for shooting, but alas, I haven't got much practice with lightning bolts, so the photo is not very good. It is, however, the best I've got so far. I think I should have used larger aperture or a sharper film, and a shorter exposure (and wasted more film).
