A storm moves past Deer Creek Oklahoma to reveal the night's full moon. The light from the storm, the moon, and Oklahoma City's light fill the sky to create a day like shot.
Yippee, I successfully captured my very FIRST lightning bolts photo!!!!
Mother Nature gave us a big treat last night with over an hour of an electric storm - no rain, no thunder, just super bright flashing lights, definitely scary at times!
Initially it was just big flashes of super bright light, the storn cells were very close to us; about 20 minutes later, the cells moved a bit to the east and lightning bolts started to form.
I didn't have confidence that I could capture any bolts in still photos, but hey, it never hurt to try.
As it turned out that the lightning bolts kept appearing for 45 minutes, Long enough for this newbie to keep trying.
The electric storm didn't die down, it just moved further away to the east.
I got a couple more usable images, and will share them over time. 😊
I wish you all a happy Saturday!
An Eastern Sierra lightning storm. It was one crazy beautiful show that nature put on.
Settings were 30 seconds at 1000 ISO, F18, and with a rokinon 10mm lens.

There are not many occasions where you'll find your heart pumping faster than when standing on an open beach in a fierce lightning storm but at midnight last night, I sprinted from my car to set up the tripod between heavy squalls at Perch Rock Lighthouse.
I used a weather radar app (AccuWeather on Android) to inform me when the rain was about to clear and for how long which last night, proved itself invaluable. I set up the tripod and adjusted the settings on my Sony a7R3 and repeatedly pressed the shutter release cable button every 15" until I eventually managed to capture a lightning strike right next to Perch Rock Lighthouse.
The inclusion of the crane platform to the left pleases me immensely for it adds an extra layer of interest as well as helping to balance out the composition. Having returned home at 6.30am, I think a couple of hours sleep is in order. Have a great day everyone.

This was natures show of rain, lightning, and thunder. The weather app said it was going to be partly cloudy with a small chance of rain 😐 yeah, sure.
Settings were 30 Seconds at f18, 640 ISO, and with a 10mm rokinon lens.
I have about 80 shots from the VIOLENT lightning storm Sunday (Aug. 5) evening. I need to work on these but just wanted to get one shot out...
Was in Torre del Lago shooting the lake at sunset yesterday evening, suddendly a storm erupted behind the mountains on the other side of the lake.
I've never seen so many lightning strikes in such a short period of time :O
This image was taken in Pebble Beach CA during a dry lightening storm on the Monterey Peninsula. After an hour of shooting with mixed results, I was ready to pack up and head home. "Just one more shot." I said to myself. This was the shot.
Not a composite. No Photoshop. Edits in Lightroom to crop, adjust exposure, dodge/burn, and adjust color.
I finally managed to take some thunderbolt shots. I was trying each time there was a lightning storm, but this time I managed to take some shots.
Since moving to Arizona in early June, I am experiencing a very hot summer and my first monsoon season. With that brings a lot of desert lightning. I was exhausted and in bed half-asleep, but decided I would try my first attempt at capturing lightning. I think I got lucky...
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.
Prints available of this image. Please contact me if interested.

WOW, what a morning I experienced on Tuesday with my good friend Stephen Cheatley. We decided at 1am, to visit Jodrell Bank as a fierce lightning storm was fast approaching. Once we were in position inside the back of Stephen's VW van for safety (and to seek shelter from the heavy rain).
The power and intensity of a full blown lightning storm is exhilarating and humbling as everything around you illuminates incredibly brightly. This particular shot was captured at 1.53am at perhaps the height of the storm. Lightning was flashing in every direction and in quick succession too. It felt amazing to be experiencing it first hand and it certainly has you feel alive yet small in the presence of something so powerful.
