As i was tucking myself in for a good night sleep, i was rudely awakened. So i grabbed my camera, screwed it on a tripod and fired away.
My very first lightning shots.
Good night, folks! :)
Single long exposure shot of some lightning that crossed the sky south of my hometown recently.

Lightning storm tonight over Tucson dropped a lot of rain around town. This image was taken on the University of Arizona campus and shows Old Main appearing to get hit by lightning. In reality, the lighting was in the distance behind the building.
Distant lightning over the North sea last night lights up the clouds on the horizon.
The Reddish dot just above the clouds is Mars, the dotted trail higher up are the nav lights of an aircraft.
Taken with Fujifilm X-T3 movie mode at 4 fps, iso 1250, exp (0.25 sec) using a Fujifilm 16-55mm f/2.8 @ 23mm and f/5.6.
This is a screen capture of 2 consecutive frames.
I am impressed that I can capture this detail in such a short exposure. Of course I could have used a longer exposure with a lower iso but there is always a chance that the lightning will be over exposed or perhaps get more than one strike.
I don't live in an area that gets a lot of thunderstorms, and I've never really had a chance to try and photograph a lightning bolt.
Coming down the mountains in eastern Oregon on a birding trip, I hear some thunder in the distance, stop at the nearest pull-off and 1000-or-so shots later...
Got me a picture of lightning!
I stepped out my back door to take some photos of lightning. This picture doesn't have a lightning bolt but I'm pretty sure I got a Perseid meteor. It's the only star with a tail.
hundreds of lightning strikes were recorded right after dark, but no new forest fires resulted, apparently the lightning stayed in the clouds!
Lightnings are so cool! It reminds us, that whatever we do, it is nothing compared to force of nature. To capture one in the frame, that's always a lot of fun. I like the purple light that comes with it.
Put my camera at my window on interval shooting mode since lightning started just after the sun had set. Until the night sky had totally calmed down at about 9pm, I checked my playback. Here is the only ONE out of the over three hundred photographs in my memory card that stood out. 😀
Lightning night on 7th Jan 2022
Wasn't an epic storm but it was moisture and we were thankful for the rain. We were also thankful that the lightning didn't start any fires. I love a good thunderstorm. I love to hear the rumble of the thunder as the lightning lights up the sky. I would prefer those storms happen in the late evening or dark hours as they are easier to photograph but this year, nobody could complain, no matter what time the storms came.
Beaver County Oklahoma
Lightning to the north of my neighbor's house.
NOTE: No photographers were injured in the making of this photo.
Crawler Lightning Over Central Texas, April 26, 2023.
Anvil crawler lightning, sometimes called spider lightning, is created when leaders propagate through horizontally-extensive charge regions in mature thunderstorms, usually the stratiform regions of mesoscale convective systems.

Last night we had some lightning storms come through our area. I was not prepared as much as I wish I was as we were busy running around getting things done. I came home and when I jumped out of the shower I was amazed at the amount of lightning we were having. i wish this was a little sharper of an image.
