Lightning photos

[Eric Flescher]

Susan S. and a lot of you all have real nice lightning photos before, during and after chases.
Post them here.
Also include some information about these memorable photos or videoclips, date, time and additional information as needed.

In fact, I found this website that might have some of your works already. Check it out.
Enjoy.

Thanks Eric. Do we post our personal favorites? If so I like

because the detail is silly (plus the eye can't see all this stuff but the camera can)

I (heart) lightning, and the monsoon starts in 2 weeks so I'm stoked!

http://www.lightningwizard.com I just have added some new ones.
For lightning photos taken while chasing, go to the Thunderstorms & Lightning gallery and select 2006 (page 4 and beyond... my favorites are the Badlands shots) or 2001.
Soon I will add a gallery with sprites too.

Oscar I like that badland shot for sure and the green building with the crawler over it in France.

Tree Line Lightning, I actually didnt think the picture would turn out good. I was wrong.

No Doubt Susan, I too am on the edge of my seat waiting for the monsoon to start. My Local NWS already made mention of it possibly surging North by wednesday to the ID/UT border? Not sure about that this early, I could be wrong tho.

Happy Chasing everyone....

Lightning shot over Denver from last July, still my best to date. Hope to top it with this year's monsoon!

Here are my top 5 in no particular order...

My personal fave in terms of artsy-fartsy...

 

[Laura Duchesne]

Well this year I finally got some decent spark pics, thanks to my new lens.

May 28, 2007 South Dakota

June 2, 2007 Texas - probably my fave to date, minus the power lines but hey, it was dark out!

 

[John Hudson]

Nice pics, everyone. And Susan, you're definitely persistent. Seven years to get your moon picture was well worth the wait, IMHO.

Here's a couple of my favorites:

I used to live in an apartment with an excellent west-facing patio, which gave me a good opportunity for lightning shots... Here are a couple of my faves, shot last year:

 

[Brian Emfinger]

Here are a few of my best:

On a side note.. I really f'ed up some lightning last night. I haven't shot that much night lightning this year and it showed. Good lightning photographs arent easy and sometimes we forget that I think... I sure did.
