Developing high based storms over Belgium moved north towards The Netherlands.
These were fast moving storms so I had to act quickly to intercept them. I was just in time close to the historic town of Zaltbommel near the river Waal to capture these bolts.
Das Wetter im Juli prägen oft Gewitter der kleineren aber auch der größeren Art. Am ersten Augusttag 2017 kündigte sich in der Hofer Gegend ein kräftiges Gewitter an. Vom Wartturm im Osten Hofs konnte ich die Blitze beobachten wie sie über Hof niedergingen. Auf dem Volksfest dürfte der Regenschauer und das Gewitter für eine kurze Pause in den Fahrgeschäften geführt haben. Ich selbst verzog mich kurze Zeit später in mein Auto, da das Gewitter direkt über mir weiterzog.
Lightning Strike
The weather in July is often marked by heavy and small thunderstorms. On the first day of August 2017 a strong storm was forcasted over the Hof region. The Wartturm in the east of Hof was a good viewpoint to watch the lightning strikes. At the local festival the storm caused probably a short interruption. Shortly after I took this picture I buckled into my car - the thunderstorm was directly above me.
I'm on the East Coast this week! I took this picture last night. The original was pretty crappy; underexposed and the focus wasn't all that great. But I processed the hell out of it and turned a crappy picture into a mediocre picture! This picture looks good from far away but pretty crappy at full zoom. In the used car business, they call that a "50-footer". Looks good from 50 feet away, but that's about it!

Side note: The lightning was not added to this photo ... it occurs naturally on this sim.
Thank you for your continued support ! ❤️
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.
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.
his photo captures the awesome power of nature, with a lightning bolt striking a tree in the middle of a field. The bolt of lightning is bright and bold, illuminating the tree and the surrounding landscape with a bright flash.
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.
After busting hard on three tornado storms my friend and I found a rain free area to view a nearby lightning storm.

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.....
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.
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.

This morning was a wonderful light show. And through it all I never got wet! This one is a compilation of several lightning strikes taken at the beach in Deerfield.
A large storm passed over with very heavy rain and wind making it impossible to shoot outside, managed some strikes through the window
