Rain in the Distance

Serious Florida Lightning

July 28th - Lucky Strike

Just happened to snap this photo at the right moment - it usually takes several hundred shots to get a strike like this!

May 19th - Heavenly Light Show

Clouds hung thick and low with severe storm warnings all around us - lightning and thunder galore! The funny thing is we never got a drop of rain...

April 11th - Pele: Goddess of Fire

Can you see Pele peeking out from behind the steam cloud that billows up from this volcano emerging from the sea?

September 1st - Thunder Storm and Lightning Strikes!

Today was one of those days that I didn't really feel motivated to get out the door with my camera. Then I took a look outside at about 5:00, and I couldn't believe what I saw! This lightening filled cloud that almost touched the tops of the houses made day turn to night in about 15 minutes.

It wasn't long before the lightning started to flash and the thunder rumble...

I was so excited when I got these shots of the lightning!

August 21st Unbelievable Lightning

Last night we had a huge cloud formation that stretched across the entire horizon, and a silent lightning display (cloud to cloud) that lasted for almost 3 hours. The lightning was almost continuous. We had a display similar to this one about 7 years ago, but I haven't seen anything like this in quite a while. Of course I was totally unprepared to take photos of this not having learned how to set the exposure on my camera for this situation. I am kicking myself!

Anyway, enough whining - here is what I did manage to get purely by luck. They're not great quality, but you'll get the idea. Anyone with resources about photographing lightning strikes at night, please share!
