Bennington 2 in May 2016 was a great tornado and then after it got rain wrapped we headed back and got a beautiful lightning show

Hands down this is mine. Caught it on June 14th on a severe storm near Kalvesta, KS. Not a stack and not a trigger. Just a 3" exposure where I happened to press the button at the right time for once

Not a great photographer yet, it’s a work in progress. This is from my front yard in Mesa, AZ late July, 2018.

The McCook, Nebraska tornado. Probably the most dramatic lightning shot I've taken.

These are mine, taken a few days ago, I have never really tried to photograph lightning before, low ISO and long exposure time. Canon 800D and a 50mm prime lens. Next time I hope to have a lightning trigger to make things easier. Taken in Suffolk , UK.
