Worth the wait?

"This is the moment a lightning bolt appears to strike the Statue of Liberty in New York. New York photographer Jay Fine had spent the night braving the storm in Battery Park City, Manhattan, in a bid to get the perfect picture. Jay spent nearly two hours poised with his camera and took more than 80 shots before striking lucky with this particular bolt of lightning at 8.45pm on 22 September. He said he had been waiting 40 years to get the picture. To capture the shots Jay used a Nikon D300s with 60mm f/2.8 lens on the following settings: Aperture: F/10, Shutterspeed: 5 seconds, ISO: 200."

Yeah tell him he's got another 40 years cause that hit behind it on the other side.

It's cool and all, but hardly worth two hours of sitting there staring at it, let alone 40 years. I'd like it better if it were from a different angle or something.

the lightning hit a good 1000 feet away out in the river.
