This was cool. On our way home, we decided to stop outside Denton and shoot some of the amazing lightning over the metro area. I'm not sure if it was outflow, or lightning related, but something lit this power station up for a solid 20-30 seconds. Pretty spectacular.
I went to a 40 ft Tesla coil demonstration put on by a former work colleague. It was superb. Here a poor tree (well, a wooden poll) gets ignited producing smoke and flames. Even before being struck, it was incandescent just by being in the electrical field.

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.
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

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.
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.

Behold my latest work, I've actually been working on this Zoid model for a bit now, I am probably spending more time on it than I have had the others, technically according to the box he is Lightning Saix Irvine special, but that is an armor package so this is my baby!
Simple lighting here, camera left light behind the toy, light from camera right facing the toy, and then a light from above to kick it a bit more from the black background.
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.

First attempt in capturing lightning. As my first time, I would like to share my experience how I did it. Fortunately it was a dry storm with no rain.
Requirement:
- DLSR Camera in 'bulb exposure' mode
- Timer Remote (recommended)
- Tripod
- Wide Angle Lens (recommended)
- Dark environment
- An umbrella with ability of covering yourself and photography gear
1. For this shot, it is recommended to have wide angle with ISO 250 (or around), make sure you are using the highest capture quality on your camera to increase detail.
2. Turn the focus of your lens to manual mode, focus to the infinity section.
3. Count an approximate time between each lightning as you do not want to overexpose or push the button at the wrong time...
4. Ensure shutter speed is exposed at an interval between 4-10 seconds. I used 6 seconds on my remote. You may choose to de-activate the timer mode and manually press the shutter button.
I ended up with a 126 photos... I only choose this one cause is nice and bright. I hope this is helpful for some people beginning 'freezing the lightning'. Good luck!

For about 2 months, this and variations of it, are the only things I folded. I'm past it now, but it's still awesome. What's better than a lightning bolt? I mean, really.
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.

I think this has been caused by the lightning exiting the tree near the base. There are large splinters spread over quite a large area.
Two English Electric/BAC Lightning F.3s from 5 Sqn RAF Binbrook Lincolnshire, at the Embassy IAT RAF Greenham Common Berkshire 1981.
It was a rainy week, and late in the evening we started to get close lightning strikes, so we grabbed 3 umbrellas both camera bodies, a few lenses, some and plastic trash bags.
No sooner did we get set up when the rain really started coming down. Our umbrellas proved almost useless as they were way to small and provided almost no cover for the cameras.
After only a few minutes we were soaked, and the cameras started to get wet so we had to bail.
I was able to get only a few lighting shots, and this was the best one.
I shot this 8 second exposure from my house during an intense thunderstorm last night.
Please check out the post on my blog entitled 10 Lightning Photography Tips for more information about how I shot this photograph.
My very first attempt at shooting lightning. I didn't realize how much patience it takes just to get one or two bolts of lightning, but it was worth it!
