Shot from the Westcliff in Bournemouth amazing two hours of lightning, well worth standing in the rain!
In Mercantour, in south France, a lightning storm in Italy. A very nice contrast with blue sky and first stars of the night.
This was an amazing storm. My wife & I were sitting in the back yard enjoying a red wine, watching it approaching. The whole time I was thinking to myself, "I should go and get my camera, I should go and get my camera". Just at that point I received a call from a friend who was on his way back to Dookie, and was following behind the storm, saying how incredible it was. Procrastination over, I grabbed my camera and headed here so I was overlooking Dookie. I set the camera up on the tripod performing time lapse photos in the hope of capturing the lightning. The storm was so active that there was a lighting strike about once per minute. So, I ended up capturing quite a few, but these were my favourite.
I set out at 4am to shoot some new marketing content for a regular client at the Antioch, CA marina.
Well, as luck would have it, just after I framed up my shot, a burst of cloud to ground lightning struck directly behind the building. There was not a hint of any lightning after that, so I was pretty sure I was done for the day, as none of the subsequent photos were anywhere near as exciting as this one, lol.
Lens is the DFA 25mm on the 645Z. 3 exposure bracket.
Knowing a thunderstorm was passing by, I rushed out my home trying tofind a good view location but in vain. Upon returning home disappointedly I found my balcony was the best position where I set up camera and waited patiently for these fierce lightning.
This old growth redwood suffered from a lightning strike many years ago. The image does not show the giant scale of the tree.
We've been having some unusual weather this year like most of the country. I ran outside with my camera a few nights ago hoping that the booms I was hearing would lead to lightning. The sky was lighting up for a few minutes and I kept clicking hoping that I would get lucky. This was one of two that I thought were worthy enough to share. The wind was blowing hard and it starting raining, so I had to call it a night after this one.

Thunderstorm over Herford
Always wanted to do some Lightning shots. Today we had 'luck' with the weather, so I was able to get some!

Eternity isn't some later time. Eternity isn't even a long time. Eternity has nothing to do with time. Instead eternity is right now, this very moment; to experience eternity live in the moment. See the beauty in everything.

The scale is humbling, can you spot the herd of cattle? Captured with a DIY lightning trigger June 11 near Bar U ranch, AB
This is a super wide field that was cropped. This anvil crawler was actually very close.
11 movie frames were used to capture this single event.
My best shot of a storm with 80+ lightning strikes per minute! After this shot I had to stop because the wind got too strong and shook my camera around way too much to get another stable shot.
This is a detail from a composite shot that I posted in the past. There had been some discussion around it so I thought I would give people a closer look.

YES, there are birds in the shot - I was at Fogg Dam. The quick speed of the lightning illuminated the birds for a split second, despite using a 5 sec exposure.
This time lapse used a Mission 1 Pro Gopro action cam. Exposures were limited to just 5 seconds with an ISO of 100. The clip ran from 8:47PM to 9:51PM when the rains finally arrived. It was the best night display of lightning this year and more is expected over the next two days as the monsoon surge continues. Stay tuned!
Wellington, Colorado, 35 miles distance to my south received 2.1 inches of rain while by the time the storm reached my house, it dissipated and I only received 0.11 inch.
Last night was a pretty cool lightning storm and I was lucky to have the Sheriton's 5th floor window for both a great vantage point and a dry place to shoot!
Though, really it would have been better to not shoot through a window, my polarizer did a pretty good job of cleaning up my frame, and I shot at 2.8 to avoid any dust or smudges.
This is actually two lightning shots and a third shot of the boat passing under the lift bridge blended together.
I've been blending images lately, many people do it for star trails, blurrier clouds, or here, in lightning bolts. I think it is a great way to essentially shoot bulb without having to actually bulb, but at the same time, I feel like I'm cheating. Maybe I'll stop, maybe I wont, I'm torn. Maybe I'll only use it sometimes. Anyway, I feel like without a disclaimer saying that I've blended more than one exposure, I would definitely be cheating.

My first attempt at lightning shots.
All of the lightning bolts were within and around the towering cloud, they were not (not that I could see) discharging to the ground. I had to lower the exposure of each shot to find the bolts within the white mass of recorded light. Plus a little cropping..
