Friday August 3rd, some good storms came by. I set up the tripod in the window and took a bunch of different exposures. I was pleasantly suprised to find this one. Go original and see the finer filaments along the lightning.

Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity accompanied by thunder, which typically occurs during thunderstorms, and sometimes during volcanic eruptions or dust storms. In the atmospheric electrical discharge, a leader of a bolt of lightning can travel at speeds of 60,000 m/s (130,000 mph), and can reach temperatures approaching 30,000 °C (54,000 °F), hot enough to fuse silica sand into glass channels known as fulgurites which are normally hollow and can extend some distance into the ground. There are some 16 million lightning storms in the world every year.
Lightning can also occur within the ash clouds from volcanic eruptions, or can be caused by violent forest fires which generate sufficient dust to create a static charge.
How lightning initially forms is still a matter of debate: Scientists have studied root causes ranging from atmospheric perturbations (wind, humidity, friction, and atmospheric pressure) to the impact of solar wind and accumulation of charged solar particles. Ice inside a cloud is thought to be a key element in lightning development, and may cause a forcible separation of positive and negative charges within the cloud, thus assisting in the formation of lightning.

Lightning is a common scene in the tropical countries. Summer is the time when the thunder storms generally occur in the coastal areas of Bangladesh. This shot was taken during such a storm in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. Hope you'll enjoy it.. :-)
Taken from my home balcony.
Got home late at night and I saw some action going on in the sky, nothing special just a few very distant blue glows.
About 2 hours in, somewhere near 2AM it happened.
This is my first normal lightning shot, first time I succeed in capturing something this, so I'm very excited about it.
While It's not anything extra special like an exotic thunderstorm, I still dig it.
Took my little girl out for the first time to help me find that perfect shot, she was sitting in my lap when we took this, I may have opened a new fascination of storms to her.
August 1983: Lightning over Sunset Hills area of Thousand Oaks, California. This summer storm had repeating strikes - very uncommon in the Conejo Valley. I aimed my tripod-mounted camera in the area of the strikes and got this image. Of course, I had to wait until I processed the Tri-X film to see what I had. #thousandoaks #lightning

Ex-Saudi EE Lightning 53-686 is seen from underneath AVRO Vulcan XM612 - which was the reserve aircraft in Operation Black Buck 3 during the 1982 Falklands War. I has it's underwing missile pylons refitted.
Both aircraft are at the City of Norwich Aviation Museum, which has an interesting collection of aircraft & is well worth a visit. On the day I visited the public were invited to climb aboard several aircraft - including the Lightning - for a closer look.
For the past two years I've been trying to capture a shot of lightning but have been unsuccessful. First off, we don't normally get many lightning storms. Second, when we have had one either I didn't have my camera handy or I had no time.
Last month I was woken up to a beautiful storm passing over and got these shots.
A very active thunderstorm over the house with almost constant lightning. I got more lightning pictures in these few minutes than all the rest of my shooting efforts combined.

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.
Taken with a Canon 1100D with 18-55mm lens
A lightning bolt deftly strikes the ground,
with precision and fury, and deafening sound
Soon followed by thunder, a clap from the gods
For a moment in time, mother natures at odds.
