Article thumbnail: A thunder and lightning storm passed over Portsmouth in Hampshire in the early hours of Thursday morning between 1.30am and 3.30am. The lighting illuminated Portsmouth Harbour and the Spinnaker Tower. Dated 02/05/24 Photographer Paul Jacobs of Gosport in Hampshire said ???I didn???t see a thunder and lighting storm weather forecast, so when I heard the thunder at 1.30am I dashed out to the seafront. There were some huge bolts of lightning streaking across the sky which lit up the whole of Portsmouth Harbour. The torrential rain did cause me some problems, keeping the camera and lens dry was a constant battle, wiping it every minute.??? ???I took about 1000 photos between 1.45am and 3.35am, by the end of the storm I was soaked through. Because it was a bit windy I used exposures between three and five seconds to avoid the tripod wobbling in the wind which causes blurry photos. I managed a few good photos, but also missed a few as I was wiping the lens as the lighting flashed, but overall pleased with the results. I do enjoy a bit of storm chasing despite getting soaked, predicting which way to point the lens is a bit of guess work by following the storm direction."
