Daylight lightning strikes taken with Nikon P950 (movie mode) and stacked / lightened (6 frames) in Photoshop. Rolling scan created banded artifacts with the brightest bolts (unavoidable).
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. )
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.
About two weeks before our trip, we had planned a couple days in Taos and also along a lake in New Mexico for one night. As there was not much else around that lake for Ms. K to check out I started to think another location for a night was in order. I noticed that between Taos and the Painted Desert that we were planning to visit there was Canyon de Chelly National Monument. A little research and I was quickly changing around our planned route and stays and included one night here.
Boy was I so very happy we did this. What a grand location this park is and the lands around it ... as well as the local Navajo Indians that we met there.
For sunrise as I was heading out in the dark, there was one major thunderstorm going on even there in the morning. I hiked out to one of the many canyon overlooks there and set my exposure for 30 seconds at the higher ISO in order to get some lightning captures.
The alignment of the near full moon lighting the canyon (the moon was to my back here and in clearer skies) helped as well. A fine alignment of light, storm, and scenery for me to have some fun in. It was also lucky that this storm was moving away from this location as the sunrise continued.
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.
An unbelievable lightning storm last night passed us by to the North. This is an 8-second exposure. To watch it in real time was just amazing. Constant flickering with bolts coming out of the clouds with a speed that seemed like a time-lapse.
Here is the video I took with my phone.
Did a quick blend of 2 images from storm from last night...First time I have blended lightning so I was pretty happy with result of first try...Blended in StarStax..
Probably the most impressive nature phenomenon is the lightning. And it is always great fun to try to capture some of them. When you look at the screen of your camera you start to realize how gigantic they are.
Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
Her placenta falls to the floor
The angel opens her eyes
The confusion sets in
Before the doctor can even close the door
Lightning crashes, an old mother dies
Her intentions fall to the floor
The angel closes her eyes
The confusion that was hers
Belongs now, to the baby down the hall
Oh now feel it comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it
Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
This moment she's been waiting for
The angel opens her eyes
Pale blue colored iris, presents the circle
And puts the glory out to hide, hide
Oh now feel it comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel…

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 have recieved alot of questions about this picture, there was no trigger device. I am very humbled by all the very nice comments. Honestly there was a severe thunder and lightning storm just decided to grab the camera and try to get a good shot. Needless to say there was alot of luck involved. As many know Florida is the lightning capital of the World and this picture showed why. The building sustained severe electrical damage the whole phone and alarm system was fried.
A bad lightning storm going through Wyoming. This photo was used on the front page in The Glenrock Bird paper.
This is a stack of 14 frames (lightened in Photoshop) taken from my iPhone slow motion (240 fps) video. This discharge appears to be several events that occurred over a quarter of a second. Lightning was 3 to 4 miles distant.
The actual 240 fps video (first event) can be seen in: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/43055310401/in/datepos....
The quality of this capture is inferior to normal iPhone video (www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/41245665360/in/datepos...) but does capture more very short lived lightning leaders and steps.
Unfortunately these are just screen grabs from a video I took to capture the lightning tonight, but still a pretty cool sight
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.
