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.
Late season in Tucson but with the heat and humidity the monsoon is hanging on a little longer. A storm cloud and lightning illuminating the foothills and desert plants. The planet Jupiter shines brightly in the upper right.
Incomplete Cloud to Ground bolts. It appears that each discharge consumed too much energy by multiple branching to reach the ground. These two discharges occurred about 3 minutes apart.
Tech Specs: Fujifilm X-T3, Fujinon 16-55mm @ 35mm, exp 2 x 0.25s, iso 500.
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.

I was experimenting with how to catch a lightning during the last thudnerstorm from our balcony. This is the only shot I got... will certainly try again and go for a better one :-)

We went to White Sands to shoot the Solstice Moon, and saw this lightning storm over Alamogordo, New Mexico.

One of the heaviest thunderstorms i experienced over the last few years happened during our holidays at Lake Constance, one night. I took the picture directly out of our hotel room.
Due to the high ISO (high for an iPhone, at least) the noise reduction is washing out the details quite heavy, but, well, at least i got the lightning picture i wanted to.
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.

It was such a heavy thunderstorm I 've never seen before. Had the chance to catch quite a bigger number of pictures of lightning coming down. But that particular image just shows perfectly the situation with the burning old farmhouse below. There were moments I was afraid beeing strucked by a flash as well - though I've been in the middle of that huge chaos around me. Roaring monsters everywhere...

Some lightning shot's when it wasn't to bad or should I say to close
It only took 1hour and 16 mins to upload on dial up oh boy!
The great Meteor Storm of May 31st turned out to be a drizzle, but the lightning bugs and one good meteor all came together to make that 3a shoot worth it!
Gewitter
Oh, wie ist das bitter!
Blitz, Regen, wieder ein Gewitter,
keine Ruhe mehr in der Gasse,
Mensch, wie ich das hasse.
Blitze, Blitze kommt herunter,
tanzt lieblich am Himmel und munter,
doch verschont bitte mein Haus,
fahrt in den Boden und woanders wieder raus.
Der Regen bringt Kühle nach hitzigem Tag,
die Hitze war doch eine arge Plag,
verdunkelt lässt das Gewitter die Welt zurück,
die sich bald wieder erhellt, Stück für Stück.

This type of storm is common in Tucson during monsoon season yielding many small discrete downbursts that can dump a quarter or third of an inch of rain Being directly under one results in lightning thunder wind and a lot of rain, but seen from a short distance away these downbursts are remarkable to watch.
Developing storms over western Belgium looked promising, so we gave it a try and drove to the southwestern part of the Netherlands.
The lightning in the province of Zeeland was dissapointing, to say the least. However, just to our east storms became way more active and we captured this shot on a parking place near Roosendaal (Noord-Brabant).
This was just around midnight. The next hours we kept chasing these storms all the way to the vicinity of Utrecht. We only stopped when daylight returned.
For me one of the best lightning chases in The Low Countries.....
