Lightning
A 4-hour lightning storm by San Salvador Island in Masinloc, Zambales, Philippines put everyone in euphoria. After a furious downpour that afternoon, the sky cleared up as the lightning storm moved away from the island.
From the sea shore, the horizon was filled with dark, ominous nimbus clouds where flashes of electric lightning streaks lit up the otherwise serene and dark sky. The whole panoramic scene was surreal and dream-like, capturing the awe and imagination of those who were blessed enough to witness such a bizarre yet enigmatic display of nature's beauty.

The English Electric Lightning was the ultimate cold war interceptor, basically 2 massive engines in as streamlined a shape as possible. The Lightnings job was to get to incoming Russian bombers as fast as possible. It had a tremendous rate of climb but limited range as unlike modern fighters it wasn't designed as a multi-role aircraft.
First time getting lightning photographed!
Took about 120 photos and got these two out of it!
8 second exposure.

This was really an incredible sight watching fireworks from a far with an intense lightning storm in the background. July 4th, 2018
No where near the quality of a lightning picture I'd like to take someday, but it's a start! I sat on the roof of my truck for 30 minutes trying to take this while my dad made fun of me. Safe, right?

Taken out the south window of my lab in Centurion during a heavy storm. Lightning like this is not uncommon in this area. >10s exposure.
Drove my future truck a tiny way up Hardscrabble mountain to this little overlook expecting a cool sunset, but instead I got a very energetic and fast-moving lighning storm!
This was pretty hard to shoot considering that I only have a Circular Polarizer and a lens that only stops to f/22, so the longest shutter speed I was able to obtain was 6 seconds... So it was very much a game of pure luck, and many, many deletable photos :-P
It took about 45 minutes for the storm to travel from beyond the mountains on the horizon to right smack on top of me... I dont think I've ever packed up and ran that quick!
I need to be scared of something more often... It helps me drive stick cleaner :-P
I also took some phone video of the storm as it was getting within a couple miles of me... The flashes turned out awesome, but its wonderful phone quality...
I have more photos, but I shot them in RAW and dont have an editor on this computer...
Will upload later this week...
A relatively rare event in the Puget Sound lowlands are lightning storms that produce more than one or two strokes of lightning. Ones that produce multiple in the same area occur maybe every other year. Last night was an exception as several cells formed in the south and rolled over Seattle.
A single 8s exposure of some lightning activity in Tucson, looking south towards Davis Monthan AFB. These three all discharged at just about the same time.
I created a short slideshow of most of the activity from this cell:
Here's a shot from Greg McCown showing these same three bolts as seen from a different part of town: www.flickr.com/photos/saguaropictures/7589323482/in/pool-...
Towards the end of April, we got a pretty active thunderstorm with plenty of lightning and very heavy rain. We enjoyed the storm until late in the evening when we found a puddle of water in the laundry room. No damage, but we never did figure out where the water came from.
I was out last night keen to get some shots of lightning. After spending a while reading up on the best ways to photograph lightning, it become clear that it was a lot harder than it looked and after two hours this was my only shot of lightning.
lightning storm headed straight towards our house... and my attic window ;-) (15-08-2012)

... as dark clouds slowly drifted in, the sky became darker and darker. at first it just looked like a heavy raincloud, but as the front came closer you suddenly could see the lightning flashes behind this first cloud.
flashes every 5 seconds, most of them inside the higher clouds, suddenly a gust of wind and the rain started, more and more lightning flashes became visible and reached out of the clouds.
