These were shot during the same observation of the lightning as the image posted to "Your Daily Blog".

Thank you, Bear!  These are 20-30sec. exposures with expectations of the lightnings.

Beautifully captured! It must be hard to get them in the frame!

Thank you, Peter.  Usually it is indeed difficult, but this particular cloud was so active that it emitted the lightnings quite frequently.  So, I could make about 50 frames of 20-30 sec. exposures to choose from.  For the second frame and the one posted to the Daily Blog, I had to trim asymmetrically, though.
