Hi
I've been taking some lightning pics lately. What we all love are large sparks, and nature still makes biggest sparks of all. My vantage point and camera are both poor, and I missed some really nice lightning.

here's a few of mine from like 1999....
Shot on Ilford Delta100 w/ a Pentax ZX-M and Tamaron 28-80 lens around 40mm, f/3.6 or so, various exposure times (open till the shot then closed). Printed on Ilford heavy weight fiber paper.
The first one was published in a local poetry journal :)

holy S@#$, we just had the strangest storm. there was no evidence, but then, as i was fixing my computer, a huge lightning bolt hit the tree about 8 meters away!!!!!! the wierd thing was though, there was no evidence there was a storm even there, no wind, no rain, nothing. then came that lightning bolt. there was about 3 more strikes elsewhere after that, then it was gone without a trace?????

it could have been, but i don't know what it looked like or anything, i just saw the flash on the floor, but as soon as it was gone i looked out the window, and the top of the tree was glowing red. the wierd thing i don't understand is how it came without any signs, and left after 3 flashes and 3 seconds of rain???

sorry for this double post, i found some good info on wikipedia. it was infact a positive strike, and the reasons were explained on wikipedia. "and can strike tens of kilometres/miles from the clouds" that's why it came out of nowhere. "Positive lightning has also been shown to trigger the occurrence of upper atmosphere lightning. It tends to occur more frequently in winter storms" yep it's winter here and that's probably why there were 3 more little strikes afterwards. so i think my lightning bolt was a positive one, thanks guys! now wheres some more lightning pics?
