Whilst on holiday in Gale, Portugal; there was a little storm. My first time capturing a storm and it was an experience to say the least!
For once I will talk about technics, lol. I am learning night photography and I am excited about the world it is opening in front of my eyes :) I had luck and even got a lightning, my first one!! Taken with my Nikon D80, 380 sec exposure, iso 400, f4
Wish to you joy of life wherever you are, whatever is going on.

A couple of photos blended together of some of the forked lightning seen during last nights storm. Out of over 300 shots taken, only these 2 were worth keeping.

Incredible lightning storm after sundown over mainland Mexico seen from east side of the Bay of Conception on the Sea of Cortez. Baja California Sur Mexico
After following a strong storm over the central part of the Netherlands, I ended up in the River IJssel valley close to the city of Deventer.
Here I was just on time to position myself in a good location.
So pleased I made the effort to go out & chase the storm because this image made my night. The most spectacular fork lightning I've ever seen in my life, and it was right behind the famous Blackpool Tower
I must admit that this shot started in my head Friday morning as I watched the news and weather running the treadmill. They were showing the cold front would be passing Baltimore around 7pm on Saturday with thunderstorms. I have been wanting to capture some lightning over the river and piers for some time ... but just have not had it happen on a nice Saturday when I am not working all this past summer. Finally the odds were getting to be in my favor.
I watched the radar on early Saturday afternoon and saw how the cells were lining up along the cold front, and it looked like one would be passing by just to the very southern edge of Baltimore. Perfect alignment and track to get some lighting strikes in the right direction ... without being in the direct path of the storm. Here I was on the edge of the storm and it was just lightly raining on me.
Timing was perfect too with the lighting, just as blue hour was beginning after sunset.
As I have also been hit by lightning once (when I was 17), needless to say I was not going to set up the tripod out on the pier. I was close enough as it was!

After chasing a supercell storm over the southern and central Hungarian plains, we returned into the direction of our base.
However, new storms formed near the Hungarian-Serbian border and followed almost the same track (slightly more east, probably on an outflow boundary) as the first big storm.
Here is a photograph of the second storm with some nice lightning bolts in the evening light.....
This Monday evening I planned a short chase to the dutch northwest coast and drove to Callantsoog. After watching a few distant daylight storms in the northwest, a new storm headed exactly to my location. It became darker and all I had to do was wait......
