Lightning over Arkansas. We had an amazing light show over Arkansas last night. Here is one of the many bursts I caught during it.
Project 365: 168/365
- This was my first attempt at capturing lightning. I took 94 shots in 25 minutes, this is shot #12.
Shot from the Westcliff in Bournemouth amazing two hours of lightning, well worth standing in the rain!
In Mercantour, in south France, a lightning storm in Italy. A very nice contrast with blue sky and first stars of the night.
lightning over Yenyenning lake, was lucky enough to have a lightning storm over the lake while camping at Yenyenning, Western Australia
This was an amazing storm. My wife & I were sitting in the back yard enjoying a red wine, watching it approaching. The whole time I was thinking to myself, "I should go and get my camera, I should go and get my camera". Just at that point I received a call from a friend who was on his way back to Dookie, and was following behind the storm, saying how incredible it was. Procrastination over, I grabbed my camera and headed here so I was overlooking Dookie. I set the camera up on the tripod performing time lapse photos in the hope of capturing the lightning. The storm was so active that there was a lighting strike about once per minute. So, I ended up capturing quite a few, but these were my favourite.
I had originally not anticipated shooting lightning, because locally it is often so ephemeral. But while at the marina, it contiinued. So I quickly tried to think of where I could get an angle at which the lightning would reflect off the bay, and headed to the Morro Bay Natural History Museum. I took some long exposures to hopefully catch a flash of lightning and, while I expected the lightning reflections, the effects in the clouds were more than I expected. Photoshop helped with the noise. Morro Bay, CA
As I add this to a "most interesting" group, I add this note:
This photo has been at the top of my "interesting" list since it made the flickr Explore page and I have gotten responses from around the world. I assume the allure is the combination of lightning (with its attendant energy/electricity), landscape and reflection in a relatively uncluttered composition--at least that's what it is for me.

Some passing storms in northeast victoria - was lucky to capture this lightning as the storm was passing by the Lake in Benalla
Knowing a thunderstorm was passing by, I rushed out my home trying tofind a good view location but in vain. Upon returning home disappointedly I found my balcony was the best position where I set up camera and waited patiently for these fierce lightning.
XR713 is the last complete and uncut Lightning F.3 airframe. She was 111 Squadron's mascot airframe and gate guard for many years at RAF Leuchars.
The Lightning Preservation Group raised funds to purchase and transport her, still uncut, from Leuchars to their base at Bruntingthorpe.

The lightning stripe of the New York Central heritage unit provides a little contrast in the night as the train crosses over Route 34 in downtown Oswego, IL, on the short line Illinois Railway on the evening of 7-8-15.
We've been having some unusual weather this year like most of the country. I ran outside with my camera a few nights ago hoping that the booms I was hearing would lead to lightning. The sky was lighting up for a few minutes and I kept clicking hoping that I would get lucky. This was one of two that I thought were worthy enough to share. The wind was blowing hard and it starting raining, so I had to call it a night after this one.

Lightning over Woodman Point Ammo jetty, Coogee beach, South of Fremantle, Western Australia This was one of several powerful storm cells that cane in over the south west coast of Western Australia last night. On the jetty the fishermen continued casting their lines, ignoring what was happening out to sea! www.cloudtogroundimages.com m.facebook.com/cloudtogroundimages/
This monsoon storm brought over a hour of bright heat lightning that didn't form good bolts as the rain passed. Bright heat lightning always make me think "Close encounters of third kind" movie scene
Original plan for the early morning trip was to capture the international space station over the cottages at Birling Gap .
Almost 3 weeks ago we had over 11,000 lightning strikes over a 72 hour period. Over 300 fires were started in California. Several of the fires are called "Complexes" because they combine several fires in close proximity. The two largest are over 375,000 acres each. The total of all Cal Fire Incidents is 1.8 million acres.
I have a long distance view & haven't seen more than a few miles or less in the last 3 weeks.
The sunsets don't occur when the sun goes behind the mountain, lately they happen when the sun sinks into a dense layer of smoke over CA's Central Valley.
Il y avait bien un risque orageux pour la soirée d'hier, cependant les prévisions n'étaient pas toutes en phase. Ce n'est que vers 1h du matin que l'activité a pris sur le nord du Jura pour ensuite s'étendre à l'ensemble du massif et plus tard au plateau vaudois. Cette cellule frappait alors direction Pontarlier.
Seules deux cellules très éphémères ont pris naissance sur l'ouest lémanique. Elles ont donné une activité électrique très furtive
Thunderstorm over Herford
Always wanted to do some Lightning shots. Today we had 'luck' with the weather, so I was able to get some!
This is a super wide field that was cropped. This anvil crawler was actually very close.
11 movie frames were used to capture this single event.
My best shot of a storm with 80+ lightning strikes per minute! After this shot I had to stop because the wind got too strong and shook my camera around way too much to get another stable shot.
Bangkok, taken from State Tower on the 57th floor. There is a boat a few meters from the striking point. The storm was so strong, lightnings every few seconds.
