Had the lightningbolts over from when I took them of to make bleez helmet and this is what I came up with.
The helmet is custom sculpted by me and everything except the face is painted by me. The face is from nexoknights but I thought it fit.
We rarely get thunderstorms here. In fact I've been waiting since 2016, since I first learned the art of photography, for a storm close enough and active enough, (not to mention not occurring at 3 am), in order to try my hand at capturing lightning.
Last Sunday night, a large storm edged just close enough for success. These three bolts came down simultaneously during a single 30 second exposure at 11:06 pm. It was the second to last successful frame I took that night, and I was thrilled!

You never know who you'll come across during the wee hours during SHOCKTOBER!! : )

I was planning to post a non-sky, non-lake, non-sunrise, and non-sunset photo next, but sorry folks, the amazing sky kept wanting me to take and share photos of it!
After feeding myself to the vicious mosquitoes for over an hour late last night, I got a few decent photos of Lightning Storm #3.
(To the scientists who invented antihistamine, you have my forever gratitude!)
Last night's lightning was so much harder to capture. Unlike the previous two, this one actually produced heavy rain and thunder. The bolts were very infrequent and scattered all over the night sky, so I kept a short focal length hoping to catch something. I took a total of 76 30-sec shots, struck gold with 4, missed a few powerful ones, but no complaints here.
I never knew the sky could be so colorful during a severe T-storm, but it probably has to do with the light pollution over Clear Lake.
However, a couple of times the sky was flashed with a bright and strong green hue, kind of like an aurora hue, and bright red a few times. Unfortunately I was not able to capture any of those.
Wishing you a happy weekend, and my US friends a happy long weekend, though I understand the east coast is having a multi-day rain event!
Looking north, mid-afternoon across foothills toward higher mountains with heavy rain from an angry dark sky...yet to the south west only thin clouds and a very bright sky. The light a magical mix of dark and light...a delight for shooting, never mind the pesky lightning bolts!
In my 70 years I've been outdoors and scared by lightning bolts several times. They are powerful and arbitrary, you never know exactly when or where they will strike, but it will be explosive, loud, dramatic and terrifying. You can't argue with a bolt of lightning...but you can shoot them. A sturdy tripod and long shutter speed helps!
Ce soir plusieurs orages se sont succèdés dans le ciel Bordelais, j'ai photographié entre autres ces quelques éclairs au dessus de la ville....
Bon dimanche à toutes et à tous
This evening several storms followed one another in the Bordeaux sky, I photographed among other things these few lightning above the city ...
Good Sunday to you all
The Ox was supposed to be the first animal but the Rat tricked him by getting a free ride and landing first in the finish line, as the old tale goes.
I really enjoyed reading that story once upon a time about the symbolism of the Chinese New Year animals.
The Ox may be the second animal but considering how the last year went, we are looking into this with a more positive/neutral attitude.
My one wish is to follow in the example of the Ox, be hardworking and reliable without expecting anything in return. A self reliant and healthy nature.
Happy New Year, everyone. :)

Got woken up by a massive crack of thunder the other night on the 20th nov. it was 1:30am, I decided to jump into the car and get out and try capture some lightning. This is my 2am shot.
Been trying to get a shot like this for a few years. Probably the best I will get from this location. Divide Road, Bisbee, AZ 10 August, 2022.
A lone saguaro stands alone and watching the storm move closer. Old Spanish Trail, East Tucson, AZ. Two images combined.
Lightning decorates the night sky in Tucson, Arizona during the monsoon season.
This image was taken in northwest Tucson looking east at a passing monsoon storm. This picture is a single 30 second exposure shot at f8 and ISO 100.
Lightning strikes the Little Rincon Mountains north of Mescal, AZ. If you look to the left of the road on the horizon you will see the Mescal old western movie set where The Quick and the Dead and Tombstone were filmed just to name a few.

Unexpected storm that hit Lucca this evening...sadly only place I could go to shoot it was my parking lot :D
Shot with Samyang 14mm @f4, shot composed by 6 shots, 2 for the foreground and 4 for the sky.
Lightning flows from the clouds to the ground as a line of severe thunderstorms move east of Olton, TX.

One of those tremondous lightnings that night, Monsoon has definitely started. I felt Nature from a few miles that day.
Sorry for the dust, need to get rid of them before my next lightning :D
View it large.
It's not often I get a sunset and a lightning strike. Took this while watching the storm with my fire chief husband.

Esta foto vai para meus queridos amigos Rodrigo e Fernanda. Voltei a Marina Piratas e consegui fazer uma noturna em homenagem à vocês.
Juro que pensei em como teria sido maravilhoso encontrar vocês ali, assim na surpresa, sem combinar...
Mas, tenho certeza, em breve, com grande alegria, este encontro irá acontecer...
Então, no momento certo assim como este raio veio prestigiar o meu momento fotográfico, nós iremos brindar e aprofundar nossa amizade.
;)

Just another Storm in Maputo, Mozambique!
Since i´m living here, for 2 and a half years now, It is common to contemplate the beauty of the many Lightning Bolt Storms in this season.
This time i had the big luck of getting a far storm, without rain or wind (when i say wind i mean it...normally you can not put your head out of the window under penalty of flying away :) ).
I hope you enjoy a small sample of a true spectacle of nature!
