As i was tucking myself in for a good night sleep, i was rudely awakened. So i grabbed my camera, screwed it on a tripod and fired away.
My very first lightning shots.
Good night, folks! :)
Lightning to the north of my neighbor's house.
NOTE: No photographers were injured in the making of this photo.
Stacking lightning frames is challenging because every discharge has great dynamic range and can interfere with other bolt positions. It is rare not to have to apply dodging or burning via masking.
This image combined 38 separate frames without the need for any post processing other than lightening the stack in LightRoom. Sometimes, nature cooperates.
Some lightning at sunset near a rural airport in south central Illinois.

This incredible lightning barrage is a 4 exposures blending, shot on 2 sept 2015, in less than 3 minutes. It was a really good night for me!!
An incredibly close lightning strike lights up the landscape just east of Willcox, Arizona a few weeks ago!
I just wrapped a month on the road documenting monsoon season and teaching some incredible groups of students how to photograph lightning. It was one heck of a season full of close bolts, stunning storms and fiery sunsets. It sure is going to take some time to process these images but I can’t wait to share them with you!
Camera: Nikon Z9
Lens: Nikon Nikkor 14-24mm @18mm
Tripod: Really Right Stuff

Trying my hand at storm chasing. Not sure how to do it. So I took about a half hour of video and sifted through it to find the only lightning strike frame. In 4K video, the camera shoots motion JPEG, so grabbing a frame is easy enough.
We went to White Sands to shoot the Solstice Moon, and saw this lightning storm over Alamogordo, New Mexico.
Lightning striking the side of Moelwyn Bach. This was taken from our garden shed. There is a gap between the trees which allows a clear view down the valley.
St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church before lightning hit a couple of months ago and took the rooster and the top of the spire off. I'll try to get a picture of all the scaffolding up now as repairs progress slowly. AppleMark

A lucky night for me to capture these lightnings in a single shot.
Shot was taken with my Huawei P20 Pro mounted on a gorilla pod, clinched to the window. This was the first few shots I thought was over exposed. Luckily I actually shot it raw format and was able to develop it to this by massive reduction of exposure.
The lightning storm lasted for many hours past midnight. Singapore is known to have the most lightning strikes in the world.
As night fell the storm moved toward the city and I was able to capture this bolt right over downtown!

I have a question for any experts out there. Anyone with knowledge of lightning and atmospherics, and also anyone with working knowledge of camera sensors.
I took these two shots yesterday, more in hope than anything, Being lucky enough to have the Sony RX10 that shoots at 24 frames per second, I pointed at the sky across the street and held the shutter for a second. I got lucky and managed these two shots. Not very exciting looking, being daylight lightning shots, but I am intrigued by the difference in the two shots. They are consecutive frames 1/24th of a second apart. Bolt 1 shows up the brightest, and actually shows the lightning in its ground to air phase and the bolt is only half completed. Lightning bolt 2 shows the completed bolt all the way to the cloud, but is fading in brightness. The bolt itself was very close with barely a second elapsing between flash and the window rattling thunderclap!
My puzzle is the first shot that shows a purple halo around the upward end of the lightning, and a corresponding colour shift across the image in the sky below the top of the lightning.
I'd love to know is this just an issue with the sensor and its response to a sudden intense flash, or is it atmospheric?
My guess is the sensor, but I'd love to hear other opinions or experiences.
These two shots are both cropped heavily from the left half of the wide angle image, hence the slight distortion in the vertical lines of the house.
This is the start of the monsoon season in a country with one of the highest lightning strikes in the world.
Captured a lightning bolt striking The Center building tonight at around 6:45PM from my bedroom window in Mid-Levels, Hong Kong. 10 second exposure.

This was one of the frames used in my time lapse shots of the typhoon. Please note the lightning striking at around 20 second mark:
