Your Best Lightning Shot to date...

These two would probably be my favorites. Both taken the same night, August 5, 2007 in Santa Fe, NM. Great night - I got more than 40 shots with lightning in them.

That is the best one I've seen! Where was it taken / what are the technical specs of it?

Thanks Adam, glad you like it! This photo was taken atop of the cliffs in SW Slovenia, just above Trieste if you're familiar with big Italian city south of the Alps (you can google it). The location is perfect, several hundred meters above the coast, so its acts as a good spot for lightning and other photography quite often.

I shot it with Canon 30D and I think it was done at ISO 200, f/8 and 15".

This Picture (Above) was actually a little out of focus but I love the colors.


Everyones pictures are absolutely amazing. My goal is to capture the leaders as some of you have since this is my favorite part of the lightning.
 
got this one last night from a dying supercell near Fredonia Ks. It had spectacular lightning and is by far my best lightning shot to date

Mine would have to be out of the Aurora, Nebraska supercell last year, June 17th, 2009:

Nice shot Chris! Well done!
Ahh, that's quite the famous storm that was! While I wasn't there, Mike H. put together a really nice Lightning Slide show from almost the same position on the storm! But If I remember correctly, I think he was shooting from a truck stop...I could be wrong! :rolleyes:

I would hate to have been shooting this lightning show, only to find out that, Mike H. had shot it as well....Tough Act to follow if you know what I mean! :D

Thanks Jeremy, yeah we were actually at the same exit as Mike, but we went south and into a field just south of York.

Mine is May 21 of this year from a tiny storm near Matador, TX. Literally, this storm was a tiny red blob on radar, and didn't put out a lot of lightning. So I was glad I got this one when I did!
