*, Thank you Brian_sp for pointing out I was posting to an old thread*

We finally had storms roll through the Valley on the 28th, it's been a very dry monsoon season. With the storms, we had a great lightning show. These were taken to the west of Cave Creek AZ.. basically my backyard lol

All taken with the D850 +Sigma 14-24mm, long exposures to capture multiple strikes, 3-5 minutes depending on the image.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

Thank you, Sunny.

I'm with you on the suggestion... I struggled in the edit. For some reason, I just liked having the stars in the shots at the top, compositionally, I agree... a tighter crop would help the image. Appreciate the suggestion.

Good looking set. I'm tempted to say electrifying. I like the last best, along with Sunny's suggestion.

That's what I thought why you left it like that...but the stars are so few, it doesn't make any impact on the overall photo.

Hopefully, we will get some rain this weekend... it looks like we might... we sure could use it.

Have a fun weekend all.
