Zeus must've been really angry! Photographer Chris Kotsiopoulos (previously on Neatorama) took this photo sequence of 70 lightning over Ikaria Island, Greece:
LinkFire in the sky! This is a photo sequence containing 70 lightning bolts, taken at Ikaria island during a severe thunderstorm that took place the night of the total lunar eclipse at June 15, 2011.
In order to make the sequence, I set the camera to a tripod taking 20 second shots continuously. After 83 minutes I ended up with approximately 90 lightning shots. I had to exclude around 20 because the photo condensed so much that didn't look nice. Also, in many shots I have captured more than one lightning. I believe that the number of actual lightning captured that night is more than 100.
I do landscape photography since 2006 and this is my lightning personal record! The previous is this one with 42 lightning captured.
ALthough I must take umbrage with the "so what if it's not right" line of thinking. Try speaking French with the wrong accent. I remember an Italian guide at the catacombs in Rome raking one of the tour group over the coals because she said "gracias" instead of "grazie" - instead of graciously accepting the intended words.
We can cause all sorts of offense with the wrong words, so, comparatively speaking, English speakers are incredibly forgiving in comparison with the rest of the world.
Btw, I fixed the lightning bolt thing. Uncountable nouns are a weakness of mine.

Lightning can be used collectively, but is singular.
There is a lot of lightning tonight. The lightning was frightening.
He was struck by a bolt of lightning. He was struck by several bolts of lightning.
Also, "I have been a landscape photographer since 2006" sounds better. "I do" doesn't relate to repetitive action in the past.
