Stacked 4 lightning images from last night's storm. Individual frames were taken from Fujifilm X-T3 with settings noted at right. This cell was about 25 miles away.
As a severe supercell thunderstorm moves away, it leaves clear air and flashes some tendrils of lightning at alpha and beta Centauri, making for a science fiction nebula with clouds, stars and lightning.

Lightning Show from our hotel window in Indianapolis. What a wonderful display to the south for more than an hour. Unfortunately I didn't have a tripod, but tried my best to improvise.
I caught this lightning at my house during a seriously electrified t-storm. When i glanced at the preview for it i thought there was a rain drop on my lens and was bummed. when i checked the lens, there wasn't a drop at all. This image is not manipulated in any way and would love to know what 'type' of lightning this is... i have never seen lightning like this and google has failed me :(
Lightning exercise: In this shot with a diffuse flash from the front. I admit, I have some wrinkles ironed smooth. :)

I decided to go back and stack the first lightning shots that I captured close to a year ago. I didn't know about this software at that time. This is 7 different shots at 30 second exposures each.
English Electric Lightning F.Mk.3 XR713 shows off its dual identify; its starboard side depicting the bright red check tail carried by 56 squadron towards the end of their time with the Lightnings and its port side in the distinctive 111 squadron colours. Who could ask for more. Just simply stunning!
Pied Kingfisher Ceryle rudis
The pied kingfisher is a water kingfisher and is found widely distributed across Africa and Asia. Its black and white plumage, crest and the habit of hovering over clear lakes and rivers before diving for fish makes it distinctive. Males have a double band across the breast while females have a single gorget that is often broken in the middle. They are usually found in pairs or small family parties. When perched, they often bob their head and flick up their tail.
This image was captured at Lake Panic, near the Skukuza Rest Camp, Kruger National Park, South Africa.

Took these after storm passed. My first attempt at lightning photos. Taken in eastern South Dakota within a wind turbine farm. The picture was not cropped at all; just pure luck that the bolt was perfectly centered in the frame.

This small storm produced mostly cloud to cloud lightning every 45 seconds. Note rain shafts near lightning.

A surprise thunderstorm with lots of lightning occurred between 10 to 11 pm between Cheyenne and Ft Collins, CO. This was the first night storm the year in which I could capture cloud to ground strikes.
Using my Fujifilm X-T3, Fujinon 16-55mm @ 16mm, f/2.8, iso 3200, 0.25s exp per frame (movie mode @ 4K), I cropped the clip and extracted only the best strikes. Most lightning occurred between 15 and 25 miles to my south. This activity was over a 15 minute period.
Camera: Nikon D300S
Lens: 10.5 Fisheye f/2.8
Shot at f/22 for 30 seconds.
This is 1 shot and not an HDR.
I wasn't happy how the fisheye captured this entire shot. I had to crop a few times and remove some of the distortion of the fisheye lens. This shot was actually taken during blue hour, but the storm coming in was pretty rough, right after this shot was taken the sky opened up.
This was taken from Empire Fulton Ferry State Park. The bridge you see there is the Manhattan bridge from the Brooklyn side.
Thanks for stopping by and any comments and faves.

Thank you everyone!
Available for ordering @ www.epic-exposures.com in the store. Hitting the adobe landscape, this photograph was taken from Montrose, Colorado overlooking Delta, Colorado, and the Grand Mesa! Which is the largest Mesa in the World. Enjoy!
Sometimes it pays to be lucky. Granted, though I did not get the whole lightning strike in this shot, I still think it might be my favorite lightning shot I have taken of all time. This is straight out of the camera, no cropping, no light adjustments, nothing. If I had a wide angle lens, this would have been spectacular. Maineville, Ohio 6-15-08 Best viewed large.
Note: For those who are wondering, A) This is not fake. I would not know how to make something like this if my life depended on it. B) The white spots are not stars, but rain drops. This shot is real and straight out of the camera as I said above.
Some earlier stacked lightning from this amazing storm. 19 images were stacked during the height of the storm.
Status update: HI! It's been awhile, I'm mostly a night shooter focused on Northern Lights but the 2021 season is over and summer twilight is here so I've been waiting for Noctilucent clouds and Thunderstorms, lots of those this time of year.
Anyway here are my lightning photos from that evening that are photostream worthy at least I think so!
For a long time I have been interested in photographing lightning, but with only limited success, thought I was doing something wrong. I tried to use my lightning trigger, but still got only mildly interesting shots. Then in one night in August, I realized you have to have the right storm. On this particular occasion, a massive double storm cell hit Regina and apparently satellites were recording 700 lightning strikes a minute at one point. This is only 1 of the dozens of dramatic images I caught that night.
Regina, Saskatchewan
We had a crazy storm that seemed to just hang over downtown for about an hour, and everywhere you looked it was raining except for the Brickell area. This is the first time I've had the lightning blow the highlights out on almost all the shots, it's rare that there is no rain between the camera and lightning. Really wish I would have caught this at f11...as for those two massive bolts, I'm thinking they hit the substation on the opposite side of the river. D600 / Sigma 35mm f1.4 "Art"

I designed a Lightning Bolt foundation paper piecing pattern - six triangles meet at the centre to form a hexagon "Lightning Storm" block :)
