Marc Laidlaw's lucky lightning photo

Science fiction writer and Half-Life writer Marc Laidlaw was on TV for his lucky accidental photo of a tree being struck by lighting.

He snapped his camera just as lightning struck a tree in his backyard, capturing nature's awesome power. He says he didn't know he had captured the shot, saying the strike was so terrifying, he just turn and ran. It wasn't until he went back and looked at his shots that he realized what he had, first thinking he had a daylight photo mixed in there.
