Har, that was a good catch, regarding the [mis-]translation. I was puzzled by reading just the translation myself, and couldn't figure it out without reading the original. In Russian, the word "molniya" has two meanings: "lightning" and "zipper". Google chose the wrong one. And then the word "karaulim" means "[we are] guarding" but also "[we are] waiting for" [something sudden] aka "catching". Hence the proper translation should be: Catching a lightning Summer rain is also wonderful because during it, you can shoot a lightning: either lightning itself or its reflection/glare in the surrounding objects. Lightning flashes give such light effects that can not be obtained by any other way. Just be careful. I hope this clarifies it.
