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.
A very wispy cloud moving quickly across the sky and over a grain elevator, gives the momentary impression of lightning.
Walking around downtown Denver looking for photo opportunities when a storm rolled over and provided the most amazing light show.
A strong thunderstorm drops lightning bolts over the foothills of the eastern Carpathian mountains, Romania.
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.

This may be a single lightning event or two separate events across the 30 second exposure period.

Another from that amazing 2019 summer's electrical storm over southern England and France,
Crediton, Devon
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.
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
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.

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.
Een fraai gevormde CC (cloud to cloud) bliksem tijdens de stormchase van 7 augustus 2018. Een zwak jaar qua onweer, dit was 1 van de weinige hoogtepunten. Maar wel met een aardig resultaat!
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.
