cool thunderstorm!!!

[biothanasis]

Yesterday, after a lot of days with only sun and heat we had a very nice thunderstorm, with some rain and cool breeze. Enjoy!
(all photos were taken at night...)

Great pics. I love a good thunderstorm with lots of lightning. I haven't seen a good one for years.

Stunning images! Thanks for sharing them!

Summer storm in Tn.

Very dramatic lightning pics.

Here's some of a storm we recently had. I keep my orchids on a shelf in the patio behind the house, well protected, or so I thought. This storm blew down half of them. Oh well, a lot of them needed repotting anyhow.

Thank you all!

newbud: ooops!!! I hope none of them got damaged..!

The lightning looks too close for comfort. Great shots.

wow!

 

[SlipperFan]

Biothanasis, great captures!

 

[JeanLux]

Wow, must have been quite some action over there Thanasis!!!! Jean

 

[SlipperKing]

Pretty cool strikes but what I picked up on was all the antennas. What in the world are they all used for?

 

[Heather]

Neat lightening!

nice shots thanasis, but I hope you were using a remote shutter release for most of them!

Stunning pictures! I've never tried taking pictures of lightning, but now I think I should attempt it.

TV, Radio ..I suppose!! Not cable everywhere ! We used to have some of these too some years ago!! Jean

I was noticing the same thing. Broadcast over the air means less governmental control!! :ninja:

Yeap!! TV signal receivers. Every block of flats has as many antennas as the number of flats.... lol... Very few use antenna dishes. TV analogue signal (we now use) will soon be substituted by the digital signal....

Charles, what option would that be? I used the fast shooting speed with pre-capturing and 800 iso.

Wicked captures!!!

you use a very long cord that trips the shutter from someplace a long ways away, preferably inside.
