lightning over Yenyenning lake, was lucky enough to have a lightning storm over the lake while camping at Yenyenning, Western Australia
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.

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.
Another image taken from Nobbys beach. This was taken minutes before soaking rain drenched all enjoying the show.
This was the first series of images I was able to capture as I arrived in much excitement and rushed to get setup.

Thunderstorm over Herford
Always wanted to do some Lightning shots. Today we had 'luck' with the weather, so I was able to get some!
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.
Afternoon & evening photo shoot at the Lightning Preservation Group organized by the Centre of Aviation Photography(COAP). Featuring re-enactors and Lightnings XR728, XS904 and XR713. Lightning F.6 XR728 also completed some engine/afterburner runs.
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.
An effect of Hurricane Dolores, a thunder and lightning storm struck during the early hours of July 19, 2015. A light sleeper, I decided to get up and watch. The calm water and air and warm temperature made for a most amazing during-the-middle-of-night experience.
Morro Bay, CA
That squiggle in the sky is totally amazing and unexpected to me.
Using my Nikon d3500, I took the 3rd consecutive 100 images of this lightning storm (~25x8s used) to see if I could develop the best stacking from the best lightning discharges. The final image turned out so-so. As conditions darkened after sunset, light scattered onto clouds by lightning becomes very problematic. There are techniques to improve on this stacking but it requires considerable post-processing to achieve.
Note limited cloud to ground strikes. Two sets of crawlers at top left criss-crossed each other within 3 minutes.
Storm was 14 to 25 miles distant.
A lightning storm quickly approached us in beautiful Bruce County, Ontario, Canada last night.

This 30 second exposure captured a lightning bolt in the distance over Louisville, CO the other day!
Angry Cloud Monster Glares As White Lightning Whiplashes Sky Over Tampa Bay Turning Black Night Blue - IMRANâ„¢
Look closely. Doesn't that look like a cloud monster with two angry eyes, his face split by the lightning outlining his opening mouth....! Kennedy and I had been on the dock of my blessed home when I did the livestream of an impending thunder and lightning storm that was looming over Tampa Bay like a gigantic invading spaceship from the movie Independence Day. I showed many lightning strikes in the livestream but a streaming app on a smartphone is not geared to capture lightning, which just bathes a video frame in a whitewash effect. I knew a second storm was coming soon. So, this time I went out, later in the night, and climbed on the wall of my swimming pool deck. Distant lightning was flashing beyond downtown Tampa. I clicked a few shots. But I had chosen a 20mm Nikkor lens on my awesome Nikon D850 because I wanted a sky-spanning lightning flash, not a zoomed-in view of a distant strike. And sure enough my patience paid off. This is literally one half of a massive lightning flash that went from south of St. Petersburg to way east beyond Tampa. It was also one-third of the view of the three flashes which filled the sky like a white hot cobweb. During my vigil on the wall, Kennedy, my amazing German Shepherd, patiently sat by the pool keeping an eye on me.

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.
