I was going through my videos and noticed a lightning compilation one from last year when I went all over the area to chase storms. I forgot I had posted it on YouTube so here is the video.
These are some of the best lightning strikes I’ve gotten on video. I hope you enjoy the video with the music.
Have a good one and stay safe out there. Peace.
By far, my favorite thing to photograph is lightning. When I am able to catch a good bolt or streak, I get excited and I want to photograph more. Here are some of my favorite lightning shots I have been able to catch.
Taken August 21st 2017 during a storm east of my house.
Taken May 01 2016 during a severe thunderstorm right outside my house.
Taken July 11 2014. This was my first and only full moon, stars, and lightning in one shot taken in Branch, La.
Taken September 13 2013 - My first cloud to ground strike shot south of Eunice, La.
Taken August 24 2015. This storm chase lasted around three hours and was shot south of Eunice, La.
I have been trying to capture lightning on and off since 2007 when I was stationed in San Angelo, Texas. I have been an official storm spotter since 2013 when I started storm spotting with Andy Thibodeaux of Cajun Weather Spotters here in southern Louisiana. His Facebook page is right here. If you are in the southern Louisiana area, give Andy a follow. He gives weather updates especially when there is severe weather in the area.
This is the first of many posts of my favorite lightning captures. I hope you like it. If you have any questions, please comment below. If you like my content, please like and subscribe.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. There is a chance of thunderstorms this weekend. Maybe I can get more lightning. Take care. Peace.

Below is a video of a compilation of the best strikes from the storm chase this past Friday evening. I hope you enjoy it.
I have more footage from this chase and from Thursday night in Lafayette, Louisiana. I will be going through the footage and posting a video.
I’m outta here.

Last night, my youngest daughter sent me a text asking if I was watching the lightning to the south (I wasn’t). I checked my radar and saw the whole coast of Louisiana had storms. I got dressed in my photography clothes (long pants, long sleeve shirt, and a hat to help ward off mosquitoes) and went outside to see what I could see. I noticed flashes but couldn’t see anything because of the trees in the yard. I walked to get a good view of the south and saw the lightning. It was strobeing, constant flashes. I got in my car and drove to my favorite area to spot storms. I took over 35 minutes of video, seven minutes of timelapse video and 84 still shots. This shot was the best of the batch, a ground to cloud bolt.
This particular edit was requested by my wife. She thought it would be cool to show the lightning and the stars so here it is.
I am going through my content to see what I have. I will be posting more soon.
Thanks for stopping by. Please like, comment, share, and subscribe if you haven’t.
I’m outta here.
