There was an amazing lightning storm here in Auckland last nite. We had a great view from our apartment looking over the city.
I sat there for ages trying to get a strike in action - I managed to get this shot of a bold striking the Skytower.
What was really cool was the sparks afterwards!
Yesterday there was a thunder and lightning storm in hawaii and I ended up catching some lightening behind the clouds. Anywho I decided to use this to represent making change, because it almost looks like day and night at the same time.

I haven't taken a photo like this in YEARS!!!!! I waited inside my car for 30 minutes for the perfect shot of lightning. Timing is a huge factor!!!! My camera lens broke so now I'm just using my backup 50mm lens, so it's a little harder to get really great shots since there is no zoom....hoping to get a new lens or entire camera soon! *crosses fingers* Hope everyone is well!

LIGHTNING BOLT!!!!!
My first perfect lightning bolt! Now I can finally move on. Taken from Adelup by the beach on the left.
The lightning-bug is brilliant, but hasn't any mind;
He stumbles through existence with his head-light on behind.

It was nearing dark and I was heading in from working in the garden. There were lightning bugs all around. This one was flashing away in the grass. I think the pattern on it's head shield is beautiful.
This is my first attempt at interval shooting of lightning bugs. An earlier attempt of mine was simply long exposure.
The green lights are the male bugs. I used a stack of layers in PhotoShop for time lapse photography. The purple light is the residue of the sun that set at least half an hour earlier.
I wish this photo were better.
I struggled with the interval settings of my camera for a long time in the dark. My camera's buttons are illuminated as its back LCD, so I could navigate the settings reasonably well in the dark. I thought I had set up the camera correctly during the day hours but here in the field at night it just wouldn't go on. Finally, I realized I had turned on my timer to photo the dim scenery at twilight and that the interval program could not be activated while the timer was on. Whew! Problem solved. But I think I knocked the focus of my lens slightly off in the process of fixing the interval shooting.
By my third attempt, I was better with my camera and its nighttime stack/interval settings but unfortunately the lightning bugs had faded out. I think for the season. They also were collecting in the trees, where they weren't moving much. The field I used on my first attempt was much better since the lightning bugs were on the move.
My first attempt above may be the lightning bugs' last big shindig this season. I see them still out but they just aren't in the numbers that they were. I also have a scenic location picked out, but apparently, the lightning bugs do not consider my location such a perfect place.
I'm posting this as a benchmark for myself. I know the perfect background that I want for a lightning bug shooting. Now if only the lightning bugs and my camera will cooperate.

or in this case disconnected for the picture!
Taken with a Canon Extension Tube EF25 II attached to my 24-105mm f/4L and a noir filter added.
I definitely went through a lightning phase in the mid 1990s. And this was all done on film cameras, so.. just imagine all the wasted rolls of film. Hah!
Lightning striking the Eiffel Tower on 3 June 1902, at 9:20 pm.. This is one of the earliest photographs of lightning in an urban setting. From the book Thunder and Lightning by Camille Flammarion, translated by Walter Mostyn (1906).

Took off to Plum Point when I saw the lighting coming across the sky, but I made a poor decision. Most of the heavy lightning ended up going further south than I could capture. Hopefully better luck next time.
Here is another one looking south that captured more color in the clouds.
The times I thought it was a good idea to photograph lightning, while I could hear lightning sparking through the fence I was standing near, I assume. #photography #lightning #stormphotography #nature #country #australia #RuralScene #Storm #Landscape #Thunder
Lightning of 74 Sqn Royal Air Force somewhere over Malaysia 1969. Taken on a once in a lifetime experience - never to be forgotten.
Although no longer with the RAF a very few aircraft of the type can be seen in UK, thundering down the runway at Buntingthorpe or streaking into the sky over Cape Town in South Africa where the authorities afford this incredible aircraft the respect it deserves.
