2022 proved to be rewarding for capturing one of my bucket list lightning shots. Specifically I have been trying to capture a lightning image with the Montauk Lighthouse in the foreground. On two different nights late in the storm season I was able to capture my long sought after images. The results are below.
I had the month of June to photograph storms in western South Dakota and thankfully there were some cooperative events. My gallery below contains those images as well as a few more from eastern Long Island, New York.

Below is my video summareries of captured lightning flashes starting with those captured with a high-speed camera.
All of my lightning video including high-speed camera captures are now up on my YouTube channel.
