First decent lightning storm this season. In deep twilight, I stacked 14 images to create this composite.
This is easy to do. It's just a photo of my hand. The clouds, birds and light rays are Photoshop "brushes". It did take many attempts to get the combination of cloud brushes look good. The lightning was added by using a Photoshop filter. ("Alien Skin Xenofex 2" filter. )
This is another batch of lightning images (17 stacked) lightened in Photoshop. There are literally countless ways to process this type of image and I am never certain what I like the most. So here is a cooler (color) version that contrasts well (between lightning and foreground).
The storm kept getting closer and the thunder was continuous, but I never saw any lightning strike. As the first raindrops started falling on me I see this big strike right in front of me and at that moment I hear the camera taking the photo. I immediately check the camera and it was awesome seeing that I had captured it.
Two brilliant lightning bolts are stacked in this image taken 30 minutes after sunset in deep twilight. The foreground is lit entirely by the lightning above.
Five Lightning F.6s at Binbrook, August 1984. This was at an event to mark 25 years of RAF service by the Lightning. It was rare to see other than solo Lightning displays and as a rule these were performed using the lighter F.3 version.
Branchy.
Small convoy of lightning makers lofted the Rim last night, aiming just east of Flagstaff. Instability (SB/ML) looked like trash north of I-40, so that's where I set up. Catch them as they arrive in spots where one can see. Most cases they would've dissipated after that, but these kept on trucking northeast. Mesoanalysis data updated at some point later & plotted out that oh yea there was a touch of elevated instability up that way. Should've picked Leupp Rd for closer, crispitier shots—but hindsight being what it is.
Lightning over the beach on Amelia Island, Florida.

A lightning storm with multiple strikes outside Phoenix, Arizona.
Lightning is a sudden electrostatic discharge that occurs during an electrical storm. This discharge occurs between electrically charged regions of a cloud (called intra-cloud lightning or IC), between two clouds (CC lightning), or between a cloud and the ground (CG lightning). The charged regions in the atmosphere temporarily equalize themselves through this discharge referred to as a strike if it hits an object on the ground, and a flash, if it occurs within a cloud. Lightning causes light in the form of plasma, and sound in the form of thunder. Lightning may be seen and not heard when it occurs at a distance too great for the sound to carry as far as the light from the strike or flash.
On the way home all around was lighting up, then i spotted the windmill in Essex, i just had to get wet, my first time ever doing lightning, this is a stacked image, three of the lightning and one of the windmill, all taken from the tripod with no movement.
I had a blast watching a lightning storm as it rolled into Wind Cave National Park. Most of it was horizontal.
Another lightning photo from my 2007-2010 stay in Romania.
It always strikes me when lightning in a photograph is in a nice setting (here the growing cumulus cloud and the lit church). It adds so much extra to the photograph.....
November lightning! Sure looked like a monsoon storm out there this evening. This was from Picture Rocks Road as it goes over the pass tonight.

Lightning over Perth, Western Australia. This was a storm that came out of the blue on 1st March 2017, and one that was a long time coming. No decent storms in Perth since 2015!
Stack of 20 raw images taken between 8:34PM-8:39PM (sunset 8:17PM). Strikes were between 20 to 25 miles. Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 lens was used. Note rare ribbon lightning near center of image.
As forecasted, strong thunderstorms formed on the end of a trailing cold at 6PM with continuous thunder and intense cloud to ground lightning. Small hail fell for 35 minutes. Break in the clouds to the west allowed for spectacular anti-crepuscular rays, lightning next to partial rainbow, mammatus, and a legendary fiery sunset. More images to follow.
