Very well captured photos, excellent job!
Beautiful nighttime shots. Looks to me like the saying " lightning never strikes twice in the same place" could now be disproved.

The other morning I was able to catch a few strikes before the deluge started.
It was dark enough and the lightning was plentiful so I was able to open the shutter for several seconds and catch whatever strikes happened along.
These are the best of about twenty shots.
Bulb, mirror up.

Dear Tradio...
First, let me compliment you on your very nice 'captures'...
... As a long-time shooter, I have been currently trying to so something similar here in the Central Fl Region.
One of the biggest problems I am encountering here is just too much overall "rain" mixed in and the shooting is just not as effective... Then, I learned of the phenomenon of what is known as 'wet lighting' vs 'dry lighting' just the other day... go figure ... haha
I did notice that is is not much /// if none /// rainfall in your images... i.e. "dry lightning"
As someone who has the ability with your photography... do you know of any "techniques" by which you "Might" have early knowledge that your 'incoming store' will be wet or dry... If that make sense?
Tks for you time... and help to learn from you
Cheers

That myth has been disproven for a long time. Lighting often strikes the same spots as some spots are lighting attractors. That’s what lightning rods are all about. The Empire State Building generally gets struck between 25-100 times a year.
I really like your after dark photos. These lightning pics are great, but your pics of downtown after dark are awesome.
Would you share your aperture and ISO? And are you talking of maybe 3, 15 or more seconds?
