Thunderstorm Photos

I have never managed to get lightning in a photo yet , love these type of shots and this is great :)
You will one day! :giggle: I love the blue hues you caught in your storm. Since clouds are water, what better color??
 
These are spectacular! Great shots.

Do I understand correctly that @30 seconds you caught several different lightning bolts in one capture? I mean, they’re not a Photoshop composite?
Thank you so much! Each image is a single photograph with a long exposure. Minor adjustments in Lightroom 5 (I don't own Photoshop or pay for subscriptions either)
 
I really love how you can see the updraft on this storm! Are these long exposure by chance? They almost look too sharp to be!
Thank you for the kind words! All are long exposure (30 seconds) with Canon 70-200 F/4L IS @ f/4, ISO 100, 85mm.
Sorry, the single shot before this post was with my 50mm prime-just got the lens wrong in the introduction to this second series.
(Slight sharpening in Lightroom 5) Glad you like 'em!
 
I forgot that I started a "lightning bolts" thread quite a while ago. I was going to merge it into this one, but then realised that my thread is for lightning bolts only and this one is much wider. So now what? To merge or not to merge?

Thread is here
