Not as flashy as most of the other pics in this thread, but it has a certain appeal to it.

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

This is my only lightning shot thus far. I hope to get out after dark some this year and get some good stuff.

Never mind the lightning, that is some awesome structure there, would love to see how that entire updraft looked!

As and you shall receive!
This was the storm near Hico/Stephenville Texas 4/26/2015. Still the best structure I've seen, easily.
The rest of my shots are here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/mjordan_photography/albums/72157652235611665

Collage of a few of my favorite lightning photos during the 2016 season I create a long while back. I need to go back and redo this for lightning shots I've gotten the past few years.

Fantastic. Can wait to be out chasing one day with my gear. I shoot with a 5D Mark IV which does incredible at night although it’s not dark during lightning

Forgot to use my Rokinon 14mm would have got more in. Oh well, live and learn. Still love it though. Taken in Powhatan VA summer 2018

May 16, 2017 near Gotebo, Oklahoma. UNREAL lightning strike that occurred directly in front of our car and right in the middle of my camera frame. Probably will never get a lightning shot even comparable again in my lifetime. I was in the car and had a remote trigger for my camera. Settings were ISO 100, f/22, and 20 second exposure.

Probably the best one I can find in my albums. Shot near Lamesa, TX. Late May 2016.
Admin note: Just a reminder to everyone to consider uploading your BEST lightning photos to the media area here on ST as well as this thread. Our media area is great for exposure and images ALWAYS remain the property of their originator.

Just now got around to looking through a timelapse I did of an over night line of severe storms back in the early morning hours of 18 May. The line eventually produced multiple EF2 and EF3 tornadoes in and around San Angelo, Ballinger, and Abilene, TX. These are the best lightning grabs I was able to get so far
