This photographer from pittsburgh is awesome

Man he shoots some beautiful pictures around town. Last night storm brought him to town once again.

His Facebook post

Lots more storm images to share today, and instead of spreading them out I figured I'd just share them at once in a couple posts. I'll have another one tonight that focuses on the city.

I had two cameras last night; one was focused on the city, a super wide, 12mm field of view, and then the other focused down the Ohio River. Since the storm was coming from that direction I wanted to see if I could capture the bolts as they moved into the city.

They hit everywhere. Neville Island. Brunot Island. The North Shore. Bellevue. Heck, I think one even hit the Mt. Washington hillside (you can see that one in the captions on the images). Again, they were just SO bright; I've never blown out lightning that bad before, but it was so close and so bright it was hard not too.

And since some of you have asked, these are NOT frames from videos. They are actual images, and all of these were shot on a Sony a1. They are 30 second exposures where the lightning (hopefully) hits in frame; last night that was easy to accomplish.
