Every year during May and early June the lightning storms roll around the Thermaikos bay, always threatening to engulf Thessaloniki, but for some reason they never do. I was out on the balcony taking pictures and managed to capture this less than half a hour ago.
Taken From north Oxfordshire, most of these flashes were at least 40 miles away from me. I was really looking forward to a good storm but we only saw flashes from the edge of the storm front a long way away.

Lightning at Perth airport, December 2011. I'd just returned from Darwin and hadn't seen much storm action. On arrival in Perth we had to remain in the plane on the tarmac for an half an hour whilst a storm passed overhead. At least I got to use my new lightning trigger and snapped my first daytime lightning. Through the planes window!

This was a heavy lightning storm. Also, the wind associated with this storm caused a several day loss of electricity in portions of Topeka, Kansas, USA. This 4-second exposure shows two bolts, as did several others from this series.

>>> FRAGMENT SEIZED BY A MEMBER OF MY LITTLE BATTALION OF LOW-FI CAMERA GEAR. THIS WAS SPRING 2016. AS THE STORM LEFT OUR AREA TO THE SE, THE RAIN STOPPED, BUT THE LIGHTNING CONTINUED, FURIOUSLY [WITH SOME UNUSUAL CHARACTERISTICS).
YES, I MAKE MY OWN FUN. ;-}
PROST.
One more from the storm. This crack was so loud and bright I've had to make a -5 e/v on the RAW image so you can see it! It has produced some weird effects in the dark areas, but I kind of like them. What do my Flickr friends think?
This is a stack of 9 frames lightened in Photoshop and was taken with a iPhone 7 Plus in video mode (www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/43593022662/in/photost...). In the course of 21 minutes, I captured over 50 lightning bolts of which the best are shown here.
The thunderstorm was about 10 miles to my south and was considered at severe intensity. 80% of the strikes lasted only 1/30 sec (one frame of video).
