Thanks a lot to Dale Kaminski NebraskaSC for identifying the unusual cloud formation as "Undulatus Asperatus" and inviting this photo to his fabulous "CSSS: Clouds / Undulatus Asperatus (form of Aspratus Clouds)"-Group!
It's rare to have a sprite and a well-shaped halo (red disk next to the sprite) in such a distance (they were possibly triggered by separate electrical discharges), on Feb. 12-13, 2024, over thunderstorms at the Aegean Sea. Halos occur due to the same mechanism responsible for sprites, appear higher than them, at 70–85 km, last for some ms, and look like faint red disks with a typical diameter of less than 100 km. Also, observe the lower right tendrils of the sprite and their deviation towards the right, following the strong temporary electric field above the thundercloud.
TLEs (like red sprites) are upper atmospheric electrical discharges and they appear, under specific circumstances, above thunderstorms (e.g. red sprites appear at altitudes of 40-90 km).
I've used a #Sigma 85 mm lens at f/1.4, for 1/25'' with 40 k iso.

Met up with some mates from Kiama Shellharbour Camera Club for breakfast this morning.. and if your getting up for breakkie you might as well grab a couple of frames to work up an appetite.
Bit of a challenge with the Southerly blasting in your face and salting up the lens over and over.
While there a Shag flew through the scene and landed in very heavy waves just off to the right there. The next twenty I played where's Shaggy as he'd pop up and disappear in conditions that we wouldn't last a minute in .. Really something to watch.

More than 30 TLEs were observed during the early morning of Mar. 28, 2023 over thunderstorms extending from Lesvos isl. up to SW Black Sea. My observation spot was at E. Attica, Greece. This was another double event with big sprites and a halo (the relatively faint red disk on top right side from the sprites). Parent lightning flash seen below, behind the mountains of S. Evia isl.

More than 30 TLEs were observed during the early morning of Mar. 28, 2023 over thunderstorms extending from Lesvos isl. up to SW Black Sea. My observation spot was at E. Attica, Greece. This was a double event with 3 big sprites and a halo (the relatively faint red disk between the center and right sprite). Parent lightning flash seen below, behind the mountains of S. Evia isl. Also, observe how the lower tendrils of the sprites are pointing towards the "center", that is thundercloud (where the flash is), following the temporarily enhanced, due to parent lightning, electric field.

Unseasonably hot day today so a bit of weather was definitely on the cards for this afternoon.
We're in lockdown so heading south to catch this one wasn't on the cards. The headland at Shellharbour was thou thankfully.

Ceci n'est pas un coucher de soleil.....mais le rougeoiement du ciel nocturne éclairé par le lac de lave au fond du cratère du volcan Benbow.
Les lacs de lave bouillonnants des cratères du Benbow et du Marum, tous deux sur l'île d'Ambrym au Vanuatu,
ont malheureusement disparu depuis le 16 décembre 2018.

This is not a sunset. It's the lava lake inside the crater off the volcan Benbow in Ambrym (Vanuatu) that illuminates the sky.
The bubbling lava lakes of Benbow and Marum craters, both on Ambrym Island in Vanuatu, have unfortunately disappeared since December 16, 2018.

During the thunderstorm on the night of June 10, 2022, over central Evia isl., Greece, there were many CA (Cloud-to-Air) lightning. In one of them, it was possible to capture the corona discharge with its distinct blue/purple color. These purple filaments/streamers are created due to high values of the electric field (high enough to ionize air molecules, mostly nitrogen). In this image, I've done a "double zoom in" so one can easily observe this phenomenon. Sigma Art lens 20 mm (big frame), 85 mm (smaller frames), at f/1.4 and iso 20-40k.

saw this interesting cloud that resembles side view of a monkey.
Took a few shots before it change form.
location; Singapore
I have a question for any experts out there. Anyone with knowledge of lightning and atmospherics, and also anyone with working knowledge of camera sensors.
I took these two shots yesterday, more in hope than anything, Being lucky enough to have the Sony RX10 that shoots at 24 frames per second, I pointed at the sky across the street and held the shutter for a second. I got lucky and managed these two shots. Not very exciting looking, being daylight lightning shots, but I am intrigued by the difference in the two shots. They are consecutive frames 1/24th of a second apart. Bolt 1 shows up the brightest, and actually shows the lightning in its ground to air phase and the bolt is only half completed. Lightning bolt 2 shows the completed bolt all the way to the cloud, but is fading in brightness. The bolt itself was very close with barely a second elapsing between flash and the window rattling thunderclap!
My puzzle is the first shot that shows a purple halo around the upward end of the lightning, and a corresponding colour shift across the image in the sky below the top of the lightning.
I'd love to know is this just an issue with the sensor and its response to a sudden intense flash, or is it atmospheric?
My guess is the sensor, but I'd love to hear other opinions or experiences.
These two shots are both cropped heavily from the left half of the wide angle image, hence the slight distortion in the vertical lines of the house.
Raios crepusculares (mais comumente conhecidos como raios solares ou raios divinos), na ótica atmosférica, são raios de sol que parecem irradiar do ponto no céu onde o sol está localizado. Esses raios, que fluem através das lacunas nas nuvens (particularmente stratocumulus) ou entre outros objetos, são colunas de ar iluminado pelo sol, separadas por regiões sombreadas de nuvens escuras. Apesar de parecer convergir em um ponto, os raios são na verdade feixes de luz quase paralelos. Sua convergência aparente é um efeito de perspectiva, semelhante, por exemplo, ao modo como as linhas ferroviárias paralelas parecem convergir em um ponto na distância.
O nome vem de suas ocorrências frequentes durante as horas crepusculares (aquelas ao entardecer e ao anoitecer), quando os contrastes entre claro e escuro são os mais óbvios. Crepuscular vem da palavra latina "crepusculum", que significa crepúsculo.

Ever looked out your window at sunset and thought, wow it was just getting dark a minute ago. Now there’s a strange yellow glow emanating from somewhere. Bingo! That was this night.

California drought continues. Don't quite remember when is the last time to see the cloud like this!

Clouds Storms Sunsets & Sunrises(CSSS) Group Cover Photo on 2016/09/05
From the Big Trip 3D slide archives - 2004.
After leaving the scene of my previous shot, we arrived here in the official carpark for the sunrise at Uluru, ready to witness this amazing scene with hundreds of other early risers. It started out as quite a special event, with many people turning it into a nice outdoor breakfast. We were surrounded by some lovely Japanese tourists who had come off a tour coach, and they were enjoying a sushi breakfast. There was lots of happy chatter and talk, then suddenly the sun cast its first rays on the rock surface, and the entire crowd went utterly silent. For a minute, we were all in awe of what we were looking at, then some remembered their cameras and suddenly it was nothing but a clicking of shutters and a whirring of film motor drives. Being in the film days, I fired off a lot of shots to cover a lot of exposure settings. I think this would still have been around one or two seconds exposure time.
The colours were amazing. This slide scan is straight off the slide itself with no changes to saturation or brightness. It was a mesmerising and unforgettable sight.
