The sky looks really dark over that way, may be a chance for some lightning pictures!!! So off we go in the Prius, we is myself and camera gear. Drive up a hill in Fort Huachuca AZ and set up the camera. OK Standing out in the open with the tripod, no one around for miles except this wet microburst barreling down on me.
It is a peaceful uneasy feeling.........
Metro-North train 728 comes out of the shadows rounding the curve north of Scarborough on the Hudson Line with P32AC-DM 211. This was this units first revenue run wearing its New York Central "Lightning Stripe" heritage wrap. It doesn't get much better than this classic scheme returning to the former New York Central Water Level Route.
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.
As night fell the storm moved toward the city and I was able to capture this bolt right over downtown!
i went a little crazy with the contrast in the clouds, but i liked it so much i made a print. i also hope you like it as well.
A shot of Lightning possibly hitting one of the Towers at Fiddlers Ferry Power Station taken through my Living room window...
THIS IS A CROP OF THE PREVIOUS SHOT
The moment of a lightning strike on a building 50m from me. Scared me half to death, hence no chance of a sharp image.
Lightning and fireflies
Light up the night just outside the town of Bonito MS during our night clicks. Some centas, ... thousands of fireflies, dance to the rhythm of aleatory flashes of the coming storm. Witness and be able to register this moment was one of my greatest gifts !!!!!
Raios e vagalumes
Iluminam a noite nos arredores da cidade de Bonito MS, durante nossos clicks noturnos. Algumas centas, milhares ... de vagalumes, dançam ao ritmo aleatório dos relâmpejos da tempestade que se aproxima. Presenciar e poder registrar este momento foi um dos meus maiores presentes !!!!!

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.

Mission, South Dakota
An incredible, close range lightning storm that wreaked havoc over the small town of Mission. Lightning was so close I just set my camera outside and hopped back in the car to capture these strikes.
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
another reason (not the damage) why I love my neighbourhood
Woke up at 3 am because of the storm and thought I could give it a try. Could not use my wide angle to get the shot as I was too far from the sea. So I missed a lot of lightnings here and there, and could only capture one after several tries.
A storm front moved rapidly over Brisbane and after dinner, we went up to Mt Cootha to watch it pass over the bay. Not as jaw-droppingly stunning as last time I did this (see flic.kr/p/2iwuhoo ) but still a good way to spend an hour or so, chatting to the other photographers doing much the same thing. 7 December 2020.
下午五點半左右....我當時還在補眠.....只聽到窗外傳來一陣陣的雷聲
醒過來往窗外一看更是一道道的閃電擊向大地
當下趕緊拿出相機, 腳架, 減光鏡ND8, 黑卡 + 快門搖控器...........就在陽台上對準雷聲的方向...啟動B快門後將鏡頭以黑卡遮住....就在天際出現輕微閃光+雷聲的同時把黑卡移開.........還真的讓我拍到生平第一次的閃電ㄟ.............^_^
Today is my lucky day that 's the 1st time I catched Lightning.............^_^
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!
