I was photographing a thunderstorm to the northwest, when new storms arrived in the south to southeast. An angry sky came in with some vivid lightning bolts.
I like shooting storms at dusk......
This is my first go at using Lightroom which I just got a few hours ago. A picture of lightning seemed to be a very fitting subject for Lightroom somehow. :-) I played with a few adjustments to colour (though not very much), adjusted the tilt of the image as the horizon was previously crooked and cropped it.
This is a picture I took from my balcony with my iPad a few years ago. The lightning put on quite a show that evening for a good hour and a half before the rain started. Dry lightning storms (actually a misnomer since rain is produced but turns to vapour quickly) happen occasionally where I live since it is very hot and dry in the summer. The area is classed as semi-arid.
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.

A storm approached over the Pacific towards Acapulco Bay. For the next two hours, we got a spectacular, silent lightning show from our balcony. Strikes every minute or so. It eventually got close enough for thunder, but stayed dry.
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.

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

Liberty Hill, Texas. Storm developed very quickly and I was positioned in front of its path, like an idiot. Worth it for this shot though. Quite spectacular!

It took a long time to catch this shot. #lightning #700D #tamron #thailand
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.

A large storm passed over with very heavy rain and wind making it impossible to shoot outside, managed some strikes through the window
