Distant lightning over the North sea last night lights up the clouds on the horizon.
The Reddish dot just above the clouds is Mars, the dotted trail higher up are the nav lights of an aircraft.
Large and longer thunder storm over Makati city, but the 2 cranes opposite just carried on working working throughout, I would not like to be the operator on one of those.
This was the night of crawlers and upward lightning. Here is an example of the latter, stemming from a wind turbine (the tiny white light on the mountain). This was an MCS lasting more than 7 hours throughout the night. Lightning frequency up to more than 1 flash per second at times and lots of hail. Athens, Greece, night of 26.09.2023.

I found this lightning bug on our box elder shrub. I captured several images of it and as I was about to end my photo session, he opened his wings to fly away. This is the last shot of my encounter with this interesting little creature!
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.
Infrared loves clouds. : ) And lightning.
Oklahoma Panhandle. May 21, 2017
In May, 2017 I went storm chasing in Tornado Alley. Tornado Alley, which stretches from Texas through to Nebraska, is the area of the U.S. which gets the most severe weather, and the most tornadoes, every spring. Over 8 days, I chased storms through Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico. What an incredible adventure it was!
I tried my hand at time lapse on this trip. If you'd like to see the time lapse film I made, it's on YouTube in 4K and on Flickr, too.

CHUVAS E RAIOS...
- Sempre tivemos o desejo de conseguir capturar em imagens um raio. Mas não é fácil e não possuÃmos o saber de técnicas mais amplas que permitam esta proeza com uma captura fantástica, inclusive não procuramos aprender até mesmo por não possuirmos equipamentos que nos permitiriam realizar uma captura mais profissional. No entanto, nada disto nos impede de efetuar algumas tentativas. E este dia foi propÃcio e conseguimos 3 momentos (imagens); enfim, eis nosso singelo trabalho e tentativas neste sentido.
RAIN AND LIGHTNING...
- We always had the desire to be able to capture lightning in images. But it's not easy and we don't have the knowledge of broader techniques that allow this feat with a fantastic capture, we don't even try to learn even because we don't have equipment that would allow us to make a more professional capture. However, none of this prevents us from making some attempts. And this day was favorable and we got 3 moments (images); finally, here is our simple work and attempts in this direction.
The moment of a lightning strike on a building 50m from me. Scared me half to death, hence no chance of a sharp image.
Wasn't an epic storm but it was moisture and we were thankful for the rain. We were also thankful that the lightning didn't start any fires. I love a good thunderstorm. I love to hear the rumble of the thunder as the lightning lights up the sky. I would prefer those storms happen in the late evening or dark hours as they are easier to photograph but this year, nobody could complain, no matter what time the storms came.

Crawler Lightning Over Central Texas, April 26, 2023.
Anvil crawler lightning, sometimes called spider lightning, is created when leaders propagate through horizontally-extensive charge regions in mature thunderstorms, usually the stratiform regions of mesoscale convective systems.
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.
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 !!!!!
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.
Lightning to the north of my neighbor's house.
NOTE: No photographers were injured in the making of this photo.
Tonight we drove out to get ice cream and saw a huge thunderhead starting to form. When we left, the lightning was starting put on an amazing show. We don't get lightning like this where I live, so I was having the time of my life watching it come to life. We decided to go to a local hospital parking garage to get a better view of the cloud. I kept clicking away hoping that I would capture a few lightning bolts. This was the best of the bunch. What a great way to end the day.
