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.

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.

Great shots everyone!
Here are a couple of mine.
You can't see the bolt in this one but I just like how it illuminates the storm.

I think this is my favorite due to the texture in the clouds.

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

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!
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!

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

This one was taken near St. Joseph in 2008.
This one was taken at my parents house in southwest Iowa in 2007.

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!
