My camera shoots fascistsThe other nice bolt I caught a couple days ago, right near the new #BorderWall in San Rafael Valley, Arizona.
Weird. I'm noticing in this pic and the OP lightning shot that there are these blobs of purplish color in the shot. That isn't there in Lightroom or in Mac Preview, so it must be something messed up in Mastodon's compression algorithm.
On my #BorderWall photo trip in the San Rafael valley two days ago, I got a couple bonus lightning bolt shots. This is the best of them.

đź”´LIVE CHASER | NY LAKE EFFECT SNOWSTORM
Maikel de BakkerHeavy snow, slow motion lives
Heavy snow has a way of forcing the world to slow down. Yesterday that became very tangible when I watched a van and a car carefully pass each other on an icy, snow-covered road. Weather alerts were active across the Netherlands, and for many people this meant stress, risk, and necessary travel. For me, it meant something else: a rare chance to observe how landscapes and human behavior change under extreme conditions.
This image was taken handheld with the Canon 5D Mark IV and the Sigma 100–400mm, pushed hard at ISO 12800 and f/29 to hold enough depth and structure in the chaos of falling snow. In conditions like this, photography becomes a balance between physics and patience. Snow scatters light, reduces contrast, and confuses autofocus systems — your camera doesn’t “see” snow as atmosphere, only as obstacles. You have to work with that limitation, not against it.
What fascinated me most wasn’t just the snow itself, but the rare phenomenon that accompanied the storm: lightning during snowfall. Cold air aloft combined with moisture-rich clouds from the relatively warm sea can create enough vertical energy for electrical discharge — something we still rarely witness here.
If you don’t have to be on the road during days like these: grab your camera instead. But walk carefully. Nature may slow us down, yet it always gives something back to those who stop and look.

For anyone in the Bay Area, especially the East Bay and especially anyone who goes to climbing gyms, I'll have a photo show at Berkeley Iron Works through January. I'll be hanging it on the evening of the 2nd or morning of the 3rd. Alas, you have to be a gym member or buy a day pass.
It's all lightning/storm photos, like the one in November at the Ajo Library, but with a bunch of new shots, including Arches, Mono Lake (pictured), Colorado National Monument and a couple from the big storm that zapped San Diego in October of 2022.
Chaco Canyon, Pueblo Bonito ruins. It's hard to see in this small photo, but it was pouring rain and the sky is filled with streaking droplets that look more like falling snowflakes or hail. I was holding an umbrella with one hand, shooting with the other, trying to keep the umbrella from blowing away with another, and wiping drops off of the lens. Having four arms really helps when photographing in storms. (I keep the two extra ones hidden by my side under bulky clothing most of the time so as to not freak people out.)
Anyway, re-edited this one and I'm debating whether to offer it for sale as a print. Thing is, it's a cool photo, but unless you're familiar with Chaco Canyon, it's not immediately obvious that the rainbow lands on the ruins and not just some random rocks. I'm going to have to have a large trial print made to see how the raindrops look. They might look cool or messy. I really can't tell on my screen.
