A composite photo of Sunday night's lightning storm, taken from a home on 22nd Street in Brandon. Photographer Patrick Johanneson explains how he took the image: "I set up my camera to take 10-second exposures and let it run for almost an hour, about 11:30 p.m. to 12:20 a.m. In the morning, I found 15 frames with lightning visible in them, and stacked them using the same software I use for star trails to get a composite image."
