Lightning last night

We had a severe thunderstorm north of us last night. It put on quite a show and I heard tornado sirens going off in several nearby villages. Unfortunately we didn’t get a drip of rain, which we badly need. I did fire off about 600 shots.
Forgive the crappy method of taking a photo of the computer screen. iPhones are a royal pain and mine will not read any files from my pc. My computer programmer son thought he had it set up so that I could fire up the hotspot on the phone to load pix from my computer to the cloud and then could pull the photos off the cloud back onto my phone. As you can see that didn’t work.
As for the photos, I found the best settings were 2.8-4, iso 250-400 and 2-6 seconds. It was difficult to capture the lightning bolts without them being washed out by all of the in cloud lighting.

Beautiful images. For this kind of photography Olympus cameras have a feature called Live Composite. This feature allows to record new highlights images without overexposing.

Excellent! Must have been exciting to watch, and the mirror images on the lake makes them even better.

What do you think the ancients thought when they saw such a display?

They probably thought that God was angry at them.
