Where is that tripod when you need it :s

Got nice captures of the lightning but the buildings are not clear because of unstable hands at long shutter times :(

A severe thunderstorm passed our house an early saturday morning in august. This photo was actually taken in daylight, but deliberately underexposed.

As seen from Denver, at 7th and Logan.

More thunderstorm frivolity from the storm over Chelmsford UK on 6th August 2008.

Another Thunderstorm developing. Northeast WI. June 27 2013.

Although quite grainy (a lot of noise) it seems to be possible to make lightning pictures with an extremely cheap diggi-snapper.

Caveat: this is one of 20 "hits" out of 142 tries. Yepp, 20 pictures with at least something on it but 122 were just jet-black (save some noise).

OK, I could have made a completely black picture and use that to subtract some of the noise ...ow, c'mon! ;-)

Crater Lake NP, Oregon

For years I have loved to photograph cones. This cone sits on Rim Drive looking south. The thunderstorm was making its way across the park.

The sun was setting in Punta Gorda just as a thunderstorm was rolling in.

Izzy does not like thunderstorms. She sticks to you like glue. We ended up falling asleep til 4 am, glasses and all.

Thunderstorm clouds with lightning over Gainesville, Florida

Last night while cruising past Louisville, KY at ~27,000ft, we skirted a massive line of powerful thunderstorms. The lightning was high intensity and continuous for a good 20 minutes.

Introducing another not_so_easy picture type: nighttime lightning storms.

En route from Bourges to Cannes there were some big CBs to avoid. The turbocharged arrow made climbing above the clouds easy.

A massive thunderstorm passed an Akha hilltribe village. As there was massive rain the nights before some people augur that the rainy season may have begun earlier this year - sign of a global climate change?

Thunderstorm : France : 2011

today I watched a thunderstorm grow over the Ports- it was pretty awesome. And we got a bit of rain too in Tortosa. It rained mostly in the mountains. When the lightning started I moved inside...

----------------------

Heute konnte ich von der Terrasse aus zusehen wie sich ein Gewitter über den Ports bildete. Eindrücklich- und wir hatten sogar etwas Regen in Tortosa. Als es anfing zu blitzen blieb ich nicht auf der Terrasse stehen...

Nice thunderstorm on the last day of a spring warm spell. 25-30C heat over 3 days. Temperatures will dive into the teens for a few days.
