I have been waiting for a storm like this since I first owned a camera. Tonight I got around 25-30 usable lightning photos... Well Happy! Most of these were taken at between ISO 100-640 at 10-30 second exposures using a 16-35L lens.
Enjoy

thunderstorm passing right over my house
lightning shot with my homemade lightningtrigger from my attic window
Massive Lightning storm over the city lights. Long Layered Exposure. Scottsdale Arizona looking North to Carefree and Cave Creek.
Fact: The negatively charged bottom part of the storm can send out an invisible charge toward the ground. When the charge gets close to the ground, it is attracted by all the positively charged objects, and a channel develops. The subsequent electrical transfer in the channel is lightning.
This was a mixture of planning and luck. I boosted saturation a little bit, but the photo is otherwise straight from the camera. The photo was taken at around sunset which accounted for some of the vivid color in the sky.
To catch the image, I watched the storm to see where the lightning was flashing, then prefocused and held the camera where it seemed like the next lightning might strike. I was not sure if my reaction time would be fast enough to capture the lightning, but it seemed to work out.

This was Friday night and the first time I've tried shooting lightning. I was out for about an hour before it started to rain. The lights are from the Hampton Roads Tunnel. I posted a timelapse sort of deal with all the shots animated in sequence (~6 meg flash file, less than a minute runtime). The shot above is an HDR from one RAW file.
Taken from the garage of my Sister's home in Virginia Beach. A lot of thunder and lightning, and all I was able to get is this one shot. I definitely missed out on a few potential winners. Any hesitation equates to a miss. I'll be better prepared next lightning storm... I hope. That said, I'll take this one... it's my best so far.

The sky is clear after lightning strikes near Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, Aug. 4, 2019. When lightning is observed or reported within five nautical miles of an Air Force base, all outdoor personnel are responsible for taking immediate shelter.

I shot this lightning strike from my attic window during a hot summer storm in august. The picture is made in my hometown Zoetermeer (Sweet Lake City) in The Netherlands. Clouds where stacking up and the wind was calm. because of the city- and nearby greenhouse lighting the photo showed a nice warm & cold contrast between of the blue-isch lightning on the left and the citylights & greenhouselights on the right. In the four years i'm shooting lightning, this is the only lightning"strike" i ever captured.
Again Taken on the appropriately named deadmans lane , kept getting rain on lens so not the clearest photo eve
The KOUN S-band research radar, located at the NSSL in Norman, OK, basked in a purple glow from a nearby lightning stroke. Photographed during a thunderstorm in May 2003, this is the last lightning shot I took while in Oklahoma.
Our chase team had just returned from deploying weather balloons, and I waited behind the main building, with the Doppler radar in my field of view, until the lightning began to pick up as a thunderstorm entered town. The purple sky is a typical result from shooting Fuji Velvia 50 slide film, as is the yellow coloring of the foreground. This shot turned out to be one of my best catches ever, I think because it combined the soft quality of the illuminated clouds with the sharp detail of the individual lightning channels - an effect that is not possible when shooting lightning with a digital SLR.
Slide film allows for a smooth transition between darker sky to brighter lightning channels. Digital can't duplicate this due to the linear response from CCDs.

A lightning storm in around and all over my neighbourhood. In retrospect i probably shouldn't have been standing outside next to a golf course using a Carbon Fibre Tripod.

Sun was setting and the storm was starting to show a few good strikes. I waded into the water and set up: 3 stop ND filter to lengthen shutter to improve the chance of capturing a strike, f/11, iso 100 yields 4 sec. Good enough. I continually press shutter and hope for strikes. Some time after shooting, I wonder how good of an idea it is to be standing knee deep in water with a metal tripod during a lightning storm...

an amazing night of a lightning show , managed several shots , only regret was not getting in the car and venturing out to some better scenery
Lightnings XR759/AH, XR758/AF and XS899/AA of No. 5 Squadron at their Binbrook base. The air defence grey colours were applied to some Lightnings but many of the type flew till the end of their days in the older grey/green colours.
Opened in 1940, RAF Binbrook served as a bomber base for many years before becoming associated with the Lightning from 1965 until 1988. The airfield was closed in the early 1990s and the runways dug up. The hangars and offices are now used as an industrial estate. The married quarters are private housing, forming the new village of Brookenby.
