On Friday night we had quite a big lightning storm. One flash was so close to us (about 1/2 a kilometre) that the line of lightning appeared to be made up of sparklers (those little party things).
I accidently shot a few photos while everything was lit up, and you can see those below. Unfortunately my camera (or my reflexes) aren’t good enough to take photos of the actual lightning.
This photo shows how dark the storm clouds were (it was still quite light when they rolled in)
One of my accidental shots in the middle of a lightning strike: this tree was about 300 metres away from where I was taking photos.
Another accidental shot during a lightning strike.
