Date night with my husband! Storm spotting is part of being fire chief and part of being fire chief's wife is "helping". Does proving what we see count as helping? He's my spotter and the calm to my storm when the lightning doesn't happen in the direction I am aimed.

Wasn't an epic storm but it was moisture and we were thankful for the rain. We were also thankful that the lightning didn't start any fires. I love a good thunderstorm. I love to hear the rumble of the thunder as the lightning lights up the sky. I would prefer those storms happen in the late evening or dark hours as they are easier to photograph but this year, nobody could complain, no matter what time the storms came.

We've had a several nights of lightning with little rain. In the drought, it is worrisome when this happens.
Years ago, I was dispatching for a Sheriff's Office and we had a night of dry lightning fires. We had 10+ departments fightning 10 fires in different locations across our county of 1818 square miles. It is a night I will never forget.

A lone figure stands at the shoreline, watching nature unleash its raw power. Lightning forks across the stormy sky, illuminating the restless sea for a brief, electric heartbeat. A quiet moment of awe against the drama of the storm.
Lightening Strike...
As we hiked through the park. we came across an old tree that many years ago was struck by lightening during a thunderstorm. over the years it has been falling apart till there is not much left of the original tree.

I had a great lightning photo with no landscape and a wheat field photo with no decent sky. No sense in letting a good lightning photo go to waste. Did my first composite and while it isn't great, it made for a great learning experience.

Last night, lightning started flashing to the southwest shortly after midnight. I walked out onto my porch, it looked promising, so I got my gear together and drove to a likely location to set up. By this time the storm was too close for me to get out of the car safely, so I shot through the open window, with tripod braced on the passenger seat and cable release to lock the mirror up before each long exposure.
It was a perfect prairie storm: no rain, lots of forking, snaky charges flashing across the sky, and never directly overhead. Sitting in my car gave the illusion of safety. Most summers I get at least a few opportunities to shoot storms like this, but although we've had a lot of rain this year, this was my first photographable thunderstorm.
Btw my trip is still on. People are going to think I'm a liar or an idiot, having already said goodbye. Well, I'm not a liar. But yesterday I noticed there was a slight difference between the calendar in my head and the one on my kitchen wall, and in fact I'm not leaving until Tuesday :-)

The tree bears the scars of a lightning strike.
I have been learning about Pictorialism and trying to emulate that style
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pictorialism
'One of the primary forces behind the rise of pictorialism was the belief that straight photography was purely representational ‒ that it showed reality without the filter of artistic interpretation. It was for, all intents and purposes, a simple record of the visual facts, lacking artistic intent or merit'

I was have been looking forward to getting out and capturing some lightning since I saw the weather forecast a few days ago for thunderstorms. I set out early to make sure I didn't miss it.. felt a bit like a storm chaser, on the radars, bom, maps and looking out chasing the storm to a good spot.
had a bit of trouble though when I set up. I got the 6d set up and starte taking the exposure, but the image was taking a long time, had it set for 15 sec shutter speed but it was going as if it was on bulb... and then the rain started to come in. I ended up using the 550d because the weather wasn't great. when I got the 6d out I realised it was on hdr mode. forgot I was looking through the settings the day before and was testing the hdr out.. that's why the exposures were taking so long, because it was taking the 3 consecutive images. I'm getting used to using it, but there is a lot of extra settings and buttons than I have been used too. guess it means Iv got to get out and shoot more :)
thanks for viewing anyways... this is one of a couple of shots I got. feel free to leave a comment or feedback. have a good one.

The spring of 2023 brought much needed rains to our area. We were in a severe drought, and we were so thankful for the abundant moisture. The rains slowed down my photography trips as the roads were a muddy mess for a long period of time. When the storms would come in, I would go with my husband to watch. He is a fire chief and storm spotter. When I am with him, I don't get the best compositions because it is more important for him to be able to see the storm, so I settle for whatever I can get.

One of my most memorable nights shooting. Here's a single exposure that I was lucky enough to grab two strikes. A night filled with beauty and awe.
The rainy season will soon be over in Jo'burg, but for now we're still getting those typical late afternoon, early evening thunderstorms
