T-Storm Show (not ff)

[Wild One]

Nighthawk recently mentioned that summer must be here because of the fire flies and the T-Storms. Well, these certainly attest to the latter. I took these sitting just inside my front and back doorways to stay out of the rain. It really limited my view of the sky, but I still managed to get a few shots. The news last night said that within a 60 minute timeframe there were about 10,000 (yes, 10 thousand) lightening strikes in Central Ohio. Out of 142 shots these are the only ones that turned out.









We're supposed to get another this afternoon/tonight so maybe I'll be able to get some more!

Fantastic photographs. Thanks for posting them. I went to dental school in Cleveland and I remember sitting on the front porch in the summer and watching electrical storms. We didn't have anything like that in No. Cal.

And turn out they did. That first one is borderline rump tingling.

[JohnScott]

Yes, indeed. I'm kind of partial to the third photo.

Nice work, Ryan.

Spectacular! Really great photos. I'd have a hard time picking a favorite, but am leaning towards numbers two or three....well maybe one.....or four.

What Ron said! Awesome!

Yeah!..LOVE the horizontal stuff!
I haven't seen a Patagonia catalogue in a number of years, but a store I used to frequent had them. Every year they had some unbelievably beautiful lightening pics.
I love to watch 'em...saw some on the way home from work today, but too many trees/buildings to get a really nice view. Maybe later.
