I was on my way to take a video back to the library and I couldn't help but pull off the side of the road and take some shots of this incredible thunderstorm coming in. It was a clear, blue and starlit sky above with the sun just having set, and the cloud-to-cloud lightning strikes were mesmerizing.
These pictures are my first attempt at shooting lightning. Electrical storms were a real rarity when I lived in the Bay Area, but apparently are more common here in Colorado. This was an incredible storm and we rushed out of the house with no tripod or shutter release. I experimented with different settings and used the roof of the car or a fence post to set the camera on. It was a really fun night!
There was a lightning storm a couple days ago and this was the only glimpse of the lightning I managed to take a picture of. I just thought I should post it.
Talking pictures of lightning is challenging for many different reasons. One of the problems I had was not knowing when the next strike would occur, I had to wait and get the timing perfect. Also since it was pitch black dark I had to use manual focus, however, whenever I use manual focus I don't know if the shot will turn out focused or blurry, especially in the dark where I can't get a good idea on what is focused and what's not. Also I wasn't sure what kind of exposure time I should use, using a long exposure time I ran the risk of making the lightning look to bright, with a short exposure time I ran the risk of making the picture too dark.
One of my faves. I wish I could have gotten the whole thing, but I can't control where the lightning is...yet.
Pushed tint into purple from natural blue, and bumped up saturation - my first real lightning photo. Taken with a fair amount of light in the sky.

Last night was very nice weather. Took this from my balcony. The picture is in color, there just wasn't any colors. Everything was grey.
Cropped & resized.
Lightning was not too happy with me in this photo. It was taken on Wednesday, February 27, 2008, after we took her to get sub-q fluids. Until her liver problems are resolved, we have to force feed her and bring her to get fluids. She is also on antibiotics still.
I followed the storm around Interstate 164, getting to a small hill on Telephone Road near the Vanderburgh Warrick Cty line.
Of the hundred or so captures I took, this is one of only a few that I actually captured the lightning in.
Shot from inside house, too much wind and rain and no cover for outside shot. Lots of light, only 1 shot with lightning. Most of the thunder was 4 seconds away. Lost power soon after this shot was taken.
