War of the Worlds Lightning Storm Mazatlan Mexico. Up early at 5am and caught this amazing storm. This is a composite of almost an hour of photos, notice the star trails. I was amazed that the storm was so low that the stars could still be seen. #photography #lightning #storm #mazatlan #mexico - ThreadSky

That really gets across how powerful and intense that storm must have been. Sometimes it's really worth putting in the time and patience.

I came so close to not getting out of bed to attempt some lightning shots. Glad I did.

Whoa!! That's intense!!

tf-photoscapes.bsky.social•97 days ago

Yes, kept me riveted to my chair while I watched, photographed, and enjoyed the whole thing! Even though I originally did not want to get up. The lightning woke me, but I resisted as long as I could before I just gave up and got up.

Amazing picture thank you. Beautiful colours in the nightsky.

Thank you. The lightning gives all kinds of colors at night. Always interesting.

Thanks. I tried to not get out of bed, but finally gave in and glad I did. Our bedroom windows open onto the sea and the lightning and thunder woke me, but took a while to make me actually get up and take pics.

That is amazing!

Thanks. It has become a popular photo, had numerous orders for 7ft wide prints. Didn't expect that at all.

If I hadn't read the text of your post I would not have believed this is is a real shot. So pleased that you've taught me a whole new photographic technique, the composite. It is genuinely exciting for an old geezer like me to be able to engage with images like this. Thank you for sharing.

tf-photoscapes.bsky.social•97 days ago

Awesome, make the most of it. Easy to learn, a few good google searches. Let me see your results. I am likewise an "old geezer". We can still make things happen.

caleval.bsky.social•97 days ago

No, no. I don't take photographs. I just greedily consume the good work of others. But knowing about the techniques makes it possible to appreciate that work more "engagingly" if you know what I mean. My results are a like or heart, lol.

No worries, appreciate the interest and joy!
