those sticky summer nights, sometimes reveal so much beauty :)
for the shot i waited for a about an hour while exposing several times between 20s to 120s @f/5.6 ISO200 18mm. i set the focus to the hyperfocal length at about 2m. it's quite easy to catch the lightning. some luck may be helpful. you might have recognized that i used a stable mount compared to the other lightning shot.
After sunset lightning activity picked up just south of me. This timelapse consists of 6 sec exposures at f/5 with iso 560.
We were at the park with kids when we noticed this black cloud coming towards the city. It came so fast we ended up running home. However we made it... and just in time for some of lightning action.
Status update: HI! It's been awhile, I'm mostly a night shooter focused on Northern Lights but the 2021 season is over and summer twilight is here so I've been waiting for Noctilucent clouds and Thunderstorms, lots of those this time of year.
Anyway here are my lightning photos from this evening that are photostream worthy at least I think so!
I love a good storm. So powerful and so beautiful. If you use your imagination you can make out the word love in this bolt.
I caught the lightning! First time eva! It was so bright that I had to turn the exposure way down. Hence the grainy-ness and purple sky!
Can anyone tell me how to make letters bold on here??
Trying to not just catch lightning, but to add some composition. Hmm...no leading line, no real rule of thirds, but I still like this shot.
Quite a decent thunderstorm struck my home town (city) of Chelmsford in the early evening of Sunday June 12th 2016.
Despite over 150(!) attempts at a photograph, this was the best I could manage.
This is the view from my kitchen window ;-)
These are not my photos! I found it here: Lightnings [27 PHOTOS].
I chose 5 the most interesting and wonderful photos in my opinion. There are 27 photos on the whole.
Lightning F6 XR771/AN in the colours of 5 Squadron, RAF at the Midland Air Museum, Coventry in August 2012.
We've just had a really intense lightning storm. This is a composite of the first six strikes that I shot. Settings were not ideal as I'd just jumped out of bed !!
Update : this was shown on BBC Breakfast in the weather slot by presenter Matt Taylor
We had a bit of a storm pass over last night, so I thought that I would give it a go and get some lightning shots - something I have never done before. Not the best, but I was pleased to at least capture a few bolts.
The English Electric Lightning is a supersonic jet fighter aircraft of the Cold War era, noted for its great speed. It is the only all-British Mach 2 fighter aircraft and was the first aircraft in the world capable of supercruise. The Lightning was renowned for its capabilities as an interceptor; pilots commonly described it as "being saddled to a skyrocket".
Built as an F.3, XR728 first flew on 17th March 1965, being delivered to Warton for storage until converted to an F.6 and then delivered to 23 Squadron in November 1967. She also served with 5, 56, and 11 Squadrons and the LTF, finishing her career with the LTF as the Binbrook Station CO's personal aircraft (hence the 'JS' coding on the fin). After retirement she was bought by the Lightning Preservation Group and her final flight was to Bruntingthorpe on 24th June 1988. XR728 is very well looked after by the LPG and performs regular fast taxi runs on the long runway at Bruntingthorpe airfield.
