Single shot. The lightning almost like sun casting its ray onto the sea.
Lightning captured with a Canon Powershot SD1100 running the CHDK and a motion detect script.
I am not sure why there's a faint double-image of the lightning bolt - the obvious answer is reflection on the double pane window, except I've taken lots of lightning photos through these windows and not usually gotten that effect.
When I went to bed, there was a prediction of lightning bearing down on us, so I set up this one camera running the motion detect script behind the curtain. I thought about setting up the rest of my cameras but I was really tired and needed to get up early and had only seen some faint sheet lightning so far. Also, when I leave cameras in the windows facing east, I have to either get up at 5am or let them sit in the direct morning sunlight for hours, which I don't think is so great for them, so I often only want to risk it for the old camera I don't care about as much. So, I only set up one camera and went to bed. Then when I woke up in the morning and saw these beautiful clear lightning strikes, I really kicked myself for not staying up a little later to watch the storm and for not setting up the other cameras. I clearly missed a good opportunity. But at least I got a couple photos on this camera.
Walking around downtown Denver looking for photo opportunities when a storm rolled over and provided the most amazing light show.
An unbelievable lightning storm last night passed us by to the North. This is an 8-second exposure. To watch it in real time was just amazing. Constant flickering with bolts coming out of the clouds with a speed that seemed like a time-lapse.
Here is the video I took with my phone.
Electrical Storm
Ground Strike and Cloud Loop
Campbelltown, NSW.
This may be a single lightning event or two separate events across the 30 second exposure period.

It took a long time to catch this shot. #lightning #700D #tamron #thailand
Liberty Hill, Texas. Storm developed very quickly and I was positioned in front of its path, like an idiot. Worth it for this shot though. Quite spectacular!
Night lightning behind the barn last week, storms rolling in from the east, bringing a cold front with them.

Last of my lightning captures that was worthy of posting taken down at Middle River. Waiting for the next time this can happen either here or at another neat location.
From previous post to this of the heron ... this view can give you a feel for how close the heron came in as I was about halfway out on this pier and the heron flew between me and the benches there at the end of the pier.
Summer in southern New Mexico means plenty of lightning storms to go around.
This was a totally lucky shot, really pushing the limits on my camera at the time. I also didn't have the slightest idea what I was doing with any of the settings. As I've heard said even the blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then!
The last day of the meteorological summer was also the best for lightning photography.
I chased a storm over the central and eastern part of The Netherlands and managed to take great lightning photographs in the valley of the river IJssel.
More photographs of this chase will follow.....
A large storm passed over with very heavy rain and wind making it impossible to shoot outside, managed some strikes through the window
Getting close up to a backlit baby spinach leaf, one of many leafy greens nutrition experts say we should eat in generous quantities, but often don't. The network of visible veins look almost like a lightning bolt.
Storm season has definitely started in Brisbane, and there was a nice display of lightning this evening. Here is the best of what I captured from my front deck. For this image I combined two different exposures
Catching lightning the hard way, click and hope. There was so many lightning strikes that evening I was able to catch two, this one I had forgotten I had.
Nocturnal non-tornadic supercell with several multiple lightning strikes. This is a quintuple one. On the far left side, one can observe the rotating wall cloud. A funnel has been observed. No confirmed contact with the ground. Athens, Greece, Oct. 13, 2021.

This morning was a wonderful light show. And through it all I never got wet! This one is a compilation of several lightning strikes taken at the beach in Deerfield.
This is my first successful lightning photo. I took it last week from the verandah of the house we were staying at, at Diggers Camp in northern NSW, using a long exposure and hoping for the best! My family were walking on the deck, hence the shake of the lights at Minnie Waters in the distance. We had a few nights like this.
We are off to Darwin tomorrow for Christmas, so am hoping for more lightning photo opportunities!
I may not get a chance to upload anything before Christmas, so if not, Merry Christmas everyone.

In late July of 2016 we were treated to some insanely beautiful and powerful lightning displays in the midwest. By all accounts I probably should be dead from having been this close!
