Skywatch Friday - Stormy Skies

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Here's another picture from a summer storm, in fact the same storm which spawned the lightning that hit the tree across the road.

    Storms are some of my favorite skyscapes. I love your lightning shot on the SWF Command Center. I'm curious how dark it actually was when you took that one. I've always shot lightning at night when I could use the "bulb" exposure without overexposing. That shot looks like it might have been taken at twilight, or even before then, so I'm curious to know if it was actually as early as it appears to be or if the long exposure just turned night into day.

    Regardless, it's a phenomenal capture!

    I like that you have taken a photo of the lightning - very good. I want to try to do it one day.
    I have also seen the beautiful sunset/rise? a few post below and the thunder cloud.

    And you like me want to get close to things in nature and take photos of them, MB

    Very interesting image!

    I like the close-ups too, in the previous post,
    and the majestic cloud formation in the one before that.

    Thank you for hosting SkyWatch this week!

    That looks like one of those 'twister' things that happen. A b it like out of the Wizad of Oz. Looks very stormy.
