Last summer I've spent 2 hours taking pictures of the storm.
Started by setting up my camera on a tripod and using my phone as a intervalometer for 30-50 second exposures.
But while waiting for for the camera to do its job and taking care to wipe my lens every now and then I realised the storm had a special effect on me. I'm normally a adhd kind of guy but waiting at the window and listening to the storm calmed my brain in a special way. It was all serenity even with the thunders striking left and right it calmed me down.
I ended up with around 200 files and only around 1/10 of them had a thunder in it. And spend the next hours editing in peace
