More of the various times of a massive thunderstorm we had, with a different camera. Ilford disposable camera, reloaded with Kentmere 100, Orange filter from the 1930's taped over lens. D-76 for 7.5 minutes at 68 f.
Waves of thunderstorms are passing over the Queensland Gold Coast. This one seemed to feature more cloud to cloud strikes than usual over an extended period.
Lightning Wallowa County Oregon 8-29-09. This photo and the previous one in the photo stream were took by manuvering my vehicle parallel to the storm. I had forgot the tripod, so I opened the passenger door on the vehicle and set the camera on the seat, and used my remote to snap the pictures. It was starting to rain at that time. Aperture was f/8, Exposure was 28 seconds, ISO was 400, focal length was 18 mm. Photo was rotated because the seat of the vehicle was not level. It was then cropped and cleaned up with Neat Image.
- www.kevin-palmer.com - Just after crossing into South Dakota on Hwy 212, I turned around. It was the perfect opportunity to capture an incredible looking storm over the Wyoming welcome sign.
It rained very hard for maybe 90 minutes.
I had just taken the trash barrels back in (Today is trash day) only minutes before the storm.
I spent the afternoon trying to get into good positions to photograph the thunderstorms that swept across the area today!
On my 3rd time out I was trying to catch lightning with my DSLR but noticed something in the distance. I quickly realised it was a shelf cloud. It was huge and it was moving extremely fast. I photographed with my Samsung Galaxy S5 mobinle phone. As it got close the wind suddenly went crazy and blew over my camera. Then it was the heaviest rain I've seen in a very long time and the thunder and lightning went biblical. Being perched on a hillside and with a spine full of metalwork, I felt a bit nervous staying up there so I went back home to where I could get some shelter. It's safe to say that today is the wettest I've been for about 2 years (last time it was due to photographing lightning!)
I have never seen anything like this before in my life; it was absolutely awesome!
On March 31, 2023 we had our first wicked thunderstorm of the year. At first it was just gray and gloomy outside with a bit of rain coming down, also it was getting windy. The first set of my photo images I was able to take outside as the weather was not severe yet. The sky was looking gray and ominous! I took these in my backyard and to the left of my house as you step out the backdoor. See for yourself as I go through the night!

It's 98°F here today and I'm only 5 miles from those moderate-climate-making ocean breezes. It's in the 105-110°F range inland.
But thank goodness this god-awful weird weather is blowing a thunderstorm our way (from the wrong direction...our weather usually comes from the west, not the east). Sixty mph gusts are promised. Blow some of this heat away!
Note: these are the only clouds in the entire sky.

HP Supercell moving south along and west of 183 between Putnam and Clinton Oklahoma.
Probably the best HP structure I have ever seen if not the best for any supercell I have ever seen.
My partner on this chase was James Langford and he has a time lapse of this storm that can be seen at:

This is the a four shot stitch of the backside of a violent thunderstorm that dropped ping-pong size hail on Boulder and Louisville Colorado. The clouds show off a range of sunset colors, from dirty white to deep orange, due to its great height, reaching up towards the top of the troposphere around 7 km/ 4.3 miles above the surface.
This was the only time I've ever thought a tornado was going to form when I was in the Columbia Gorge. Never did, but wow what a night it was!
Scanned 35mm photo I took with my Canon AE-1 in about 1988 or so. Time exposure of about 4 minutes. The short "lines" in the dark sky above the clouds are star trails.
Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The series of storms that brought these magnificent displays were relatively powerful and violent for this area. California isn't well known for thunderstorms, but for a couple nights here the skies were lighting up with fury. These storms also brought heavy rains that induced mud slides along the I-5 and 58 freeways that stopped traffic for over 24 hours and a whole week respectively. Although having lived in Florida for a year, these were the most active storms I had ever witnessed: flashes literally every second and a continuous rumble of distant thunder.
