Lightning over Liverpool

Great storm last night. Bit of a shame it wasn’t closer as I hear it was out in St Helens. In the city centre we got to see the lightning in completely dry, calm conditions. After the lightning finished there was a torrential downpour. It was like smoke blowing around the roads it was so heavy. More please.

  • I stuck a similar, even if not as good pic up @ lawzee.com.
    It's awesome to have a great light show, and not a drop of rain!
  • Holy crap. Wow!
  • WOW! That is spectacular.
  • It almost looks surreal.
  • Exposure was 30 seconds at f/22. ISO200.
  • WOW, Amazing Photo.
  • Impressive. It's the lighting in the clouds that really makes this striking. (No pun intended.)
  • Excellent work Pete...stunning shot!

    Looks like a gateway to Hell (or Heaven?). Bit spooky the way it is right above Paddy's wigwam.
    As Stewart mentioned, could you note the exposure, settings, etc, as I would love to try and get a shot like this (obviously I would have to wait for a thunder storm too)
  • Very dramatic! I love the way you've handled this.
  • WOW! I would really like to have that on one of my walls!
  • Phil
    Looks like something out of Harry Potter.

    Absolutely BRILLIANT capture, and I LOVE the monochrome treatment. You have a real winner here!
  • Very nice indeed! The storms always seem to bypass me, which considering how much I love them is a real pain in the arse... Out of interest, what were the exposure times etc on that one?
  • Very impressive and makes for a dramatic shot. Love the contrast between the sky, lightning and the uplighting on the buildings. Haven't had any storms over here in York, just heavy rain.

    Wow, Pete that pic is fantastic. As always loving your work.

    It was incredible! 1.30 hours of crashing thunder and bright lightning lasting 5 seconds or so each time around. We thought the windows were going to come through!
