I chased a storm towards northeast Colorado where the cell split in two. I chased the more active one until I ended up right underneath it with blinding lightning exploding everywhere. As the cell moved the sky exposed the stars and the milky way to allow me to shoot this single 30 second exposure and capture one of the most epic moments I have ever seen in my life.
