That's a lucky lightning shot! I see your exposure on that image is shorter than 1 second (only 6000 - if the numbers mean the same as they do on my Netcam MP, then 50,000 = 1 second.)

The camera must have captured the image right at the moment lightning struck. I do tripod-mounted time exposures of lightning with the Canon SLR and still find results like yours aren't easy to get.

Congratulations!
