Had a really good storm last night and managed to capture quite a few images. Was chased in the house during the peak of the storm due to the lightning, rain and wind but quickly went back out as soon as it was safe. Enjoy .

Very nice series. Where were you shooting from?

From under my back porch until it got to dangerous!

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

The first and the last are the sheer terror of lightning. Jagged fury from above.
