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! :)
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.
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.
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 love the song "Lampo" by Gianmaria Testa but Lampo means lightning and I don't have any photos of it. But the other day I found this lightning road and hope it fits to the song. Here is a bit in Italian and a bit in English via translation software.
"però la vita é subito
tu mi dici così
si ma la vita é subito
il tempo, soltanto il tempo
di una fotografia
il lampo che abbaglia negli occhi
e non ci vedi più "
"However, life is just this moment
so you say to me
but it is just here and now-
time, only time;
a photo
the lightning flash that dazzles the eyes
and we do not see "
Listen to the song please.
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.
Watching from the beach as a severe storm passed to the north of us throwing out huge bolts of lightning. This was one of many beautiful bolts I captured.
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.

Monday nights storm was supposed to be more fierce than it was. I needed a dry place to sit to take my lightning photos and my sister offered her from porch which faces to the west.
Lightning to the north of my neighbor's house.

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.
