This is something I'm very interested in, However, the camera is limiting me a lot.
However, I don't think this shot is too bad?
Give me your Findings ?
This is very difficult to do well
I think you have done well to get the lightning bolt in the centre of the frame (though I guess you have cropped it too).
My feeling is that the picture could do with more in the sky to complement the drama of the lightning - some cloud detail, for example. A bit more of the silhouette of the trees and houses on the ground would also balance the image better.

This is what the Original Looked Like, It was taken from a Balcony, With rails at the bottom, so I was limited to the bottom.
As I say I'm new to this whole scene, thank You for your Advice.
Hi Lourens,
A pretty good attempt for your first try, A very difficult subject to take successfully, could do with some more interest in the image, but then I can't do it successfully at all. Looks promising to me.

Outstanding work!
I actually feel a more severe crop would be good, I think there is a little too much dead space above the lightening. (horses for courses!)
I love lightening work, and it is so satisfying when you capture it!
When I try and capture lightening, I pop the camera on about f8, select about a 3 or 4 second exposure. Its also important to have the camera on a tripod, and best to use a remote shutter release, alternatively use the remote shoot option if your camera has it.
Super capture though. Heres one I took just outside my front door.
With your permission, may I have a play with your picture this evening to demonstrate how I would present it?

Nice contrast between the purple in the sky and the reddish hue on the houses, Ben
