Hello,

I was able to head to the coast last weekend and managed to get some lightning photos for the first time. It was quite an experience. As the storm built up I got excited thinking of what I may capture. I have been interested in capturing some storm photos for a while but never got the chance before. It was a perfect balmy night and I put my camera into interval shooting. I got around 10 very good lightning shots but I also overstayed because I also found 2 shots where everything was more or less pure white, which meant the storm was right above. Reminder to myself to not be outside under a lightning storm for the next time. Hope you like it.

Wonderful shot C Chavezshutter !
Storms or stormy weather are one of my favorite things. You did capture a really nice shot!
You are right though. It needs some caution because weather in out times is a bit harsh and quite unpredictable due to climate change affect.
I was out once capturing storm photos when suddenly the storm came over me. I didn't have time even to pack my camera. I was soaked.
Anyway very nice shot and excellent purple glow in the sky!

Yes
Very nice! The sky colour is unique. How many shots did you fire to get this one?

I shot a timelapse which I plan to make into a video later, all up it was over 1100 images but I was using a short shutter of 1-3 seconds as I wanted some texture in the sea. I got about 8 really good lightning shots (one I call God's sword, it is a massive strike, hope to show it later) and I also got about 10 shots where the lightning did not create a lightning strike that hit the ground but it did light up the clouds and show texture. I used about 3 of these shots that had the clouds lit it up and combined them with one lightning strike shot to make this photo.
