Got a great lightning show from several rounds of storms in downtown Pittsburgh Monday night. Ideal lightning photography conditions persisted most of the evening, with small but CG-active storms passing close by with no rain at our locations. Many clear-air bolts (outside of precip) made for some nice catches. We observed numerous power flashes from strike-induced electrical flashovers on power lines. We avoided rain in all but the last storm which passed over well after dark. I focused on video while my brother Matt shot digital stills with his 5D and L-series lenses. A memory card and tape-filling night!
Here are a few video grabs:
