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.

A brief appearance of mammatus clouds occurred as the storm moved east; away from my location.
The last flash of lightning was located just south of Pine Bluffs, WY. Specs: 8 sec exposue, f/5.6, iso 800.

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.

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!

A storm came through last night. I opened the slider and set up the camera on the tripod just inside the door. It was raining but not real hard.
I set the shutter speed to bulb and used the wired remote switch. I held the shutter open for about 30 seconds. When there was no flash I closed the shutter and went another 30 seconds. If there was a lightning flash I would close the shutter right after the flash. This one came out the best.
I would guess it was a couple miles away. There was not a lot of delay between the flash and the thunder.
In case anyone on Flickr wonders why I haven't posted any pictures ince June of 2022, there is a reason. On July 4th, 2022, while I was showing my '57 Ford Convertible at a car show in Hennepin, Illinois (about 25 miles away), a very violent storm came up, with torrential rain and lots of lightning. The car show was rained out, but it was raining too hard for windshield wipers to keep up, so a number of us decided to wait it out there in the park. While waiting, I received a phone call from my son that my 1901 Victorian home had been struck by lightning and that the fire department was on the scene. I arrived home about 45 minutes later. By then, the fire, which was confined to the attic, was out. The next door neighbor had called it in right after the strike. The local vounteer fire department had just returned from another call and were all still at the station. Their response was immediate. They did a very professional job and had the fire out before it could spread to the rest of the house. Although the fire damage was confined to the attic, the water damage (around 1800 gallons) was extensive, soaking all of the lath and plaster in the entire two story part of my ten room house. The house had to be completely gutted of all plaster, both walls and ceilings, down to the bare studs. Needless to say, the hardwood floors also had to be torn out, down to the subfloors.
It has now been rewired and insulated and the new drywall is being hung as I type this. New flooring will be on order this coming week. Meanwhile, I am living in a house owned by a close family friend. My antique furniture mostly survived, about 95% I would say, but everything is currently in storage.
The storm in the wee early ours of the morning on August 21st brought some spectacular lightning over the Peone Prarie and Green Bluff.
Thunderstorms moved through the area this evening. Shot lightning picture from inside with the back door open.
Lightning strike over Petersfield during a particularly active storm. I missed several strikes behind the trees, but finally got lucky with this one!
I wanted to get out and ride the motorcycle tonight but as luck would have it a storm rolled in... so i grabbed the camera instead. This shot was taken looking west just as the sun set (causing the orange glow) this evening out near Lake Kickapoo.

Lightning is a massive electrostatic discharge between electrically charged regions within clouds, or between a cloud and the Earth's surface. The charged regions within the atmosphere temporarily equalize themselves through a lightning flash, commonly referred to as a strike if it hits an object on the ground. There are three primary types; from a cloud to itself (intra-cloud or IC); from one cloud to another cloud (CC) and finally between a cloud and the ground (CG). Although lightning is always accompanied by the sound of thunder, distant lightning may be seen but be too far away for the thunder to be heard.
Lightning occurs approximately 40–50 times a second worldwide, resulting in nearly 1.4 billion flashes per year.

The English Electric Lightning is a fighter aircraft that served as an interceptor during the 1960s, the 1970s and into the late 1980s. It remains the only UK-designed-and-built fighter capable of Mach 2. The Lightning was designed, developed, and manufactured by English Electric, which was later absorbed by the newly-formed British Aircraft Corporation. Later the type was marketed as the BAC Lightning. It was operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF), the Kuwait Air Force (KAF) and the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF).
A unique feature of the Lightning's design is the vertical, staggered configuration of its two Rolls-Royce Avon turbojet engines within the fuselage. The Lightning was initially designed and developed as an interceptor to defend the V bomber airfields from attack by anticipated future nuclear-armed supersonic Soviet bombers such as what emerged as the Tupolev Tu-22, but it was subsequently also required to intercept other bomber aircraft such as the Tupolev Tu-16 and the Tupolev Tu-95. The Lightning has exceptional rate of climb, ceiling, and speed; pilots have described flying it as "being saddled to a skyrocket". This performance and the initially limited fuel supply made the Lightning a "fuel-critical" aircraft, meaning that its missions are dictated to a high degree by its limited range. Later developments provided greater range and speed along with aerial reconnaissance and ground-attack capability.
Following retirement by the RAF in the late 1980s, many of the remaining aircraft became museum exhibits. Until 2009, three Lightnings were kept flying at "Thunder City" in Cape Town, South Africa. In September 2008, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers conferred on the Lightning its "Engineering Heritage Award" at a ceremony at BAE Systems' site at Warton Aerodrome.
It's been raining on Davao evenings lately and lightnings are aplenty. For two evenings I set my camera on a tripod and, long shutter speeds and score upon score of captures later, these flashes of light are now frozen in JPG.

This was the first chance I got to capture lightning. The kids were asleep and as the storm approached it was intense. It produced lots of wind rain and some marble sized hail. It was a bit of a scare and I had to retreat inside from our sheltered deck to avoid damage to me and the camera. After several missed shots and poor framing moved my location to the back of the house were the storm left to the north east. There was little rain in behind the storm but still very much lightning and thunder activity. This was the best of the shots.
