I used a fast shutter speed for this & just kept shooting.. After about 50 frames, I finally caught a lightning bolt. So much fun!! Sometimes I get caught in the moment & forget about safety. Oops.
These cacti are really cool. Watch out for the little spiky balls on the ground though.. They look fluffy but they will do some painful damage to you if you touch them. They can even kind of move on their own & roll on you, so don't mess with the cholla.
As I was taking this long exposure, a car passed by on the road & the headlights lit up this joshua tree. That worked out pretty well I think.
