Jackson Hole Lightning Strike

Here is today's image: while exploring Jackson Hole, thunderclouds rolled in.  As the light show got underway, I used my Nikon Z8's pre-capture feature at 60 frames per second to "go back in time" to capture a lightning strike.  It works amazingly well for capturing lightning; something that previously required a specialized lightning trigger on your camera.

In the background of the image, you'll notice Teton Village and the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.
