@movq Haha, that's how it always works. I also got the best lightnings when I did not film. :-D
These are some truly amazing shots, mate. Very impressive, well done! They do not compare to mine. So many other levels. Even a UFO in 6387. ;-)
I read something similar the other day for BaWü. Muuuuuch more recorded lightnings this summer than in previous years. Not as crazy over here, though. Your numbers clearly win by far, that's for sure.
@lyse Well, thanks. 😅 In special situations like these it pays off to have control over what the camera does. Auto-focus, for example, would have killed everything. (And then I botched the manual focus in some shots, haha. 😅)
I saw a couple of these UFOs. 😅 Planes were crazy/desperate enough to approach the airport. They were flying right into the heart of the thunderstorm. Next day, I read reports that passengers couldn’t leave their plane, because everything was flooded at the airport. 🤷

@movq Yeah, having control of the camera always helps. The only half-working auto-focus was definitely an issue I had.
My workmate was also a bit caught in this disaster when coming home from vacaction and got her train ride rescheduled the day after in the morning. Pretty crazy reports from over there.
