Thanks kindly, Mark, for taking the time to reply – it is always good to hear from folk like you and fill in the details behind the photo as portrayed on the CAS Photo Gallery.
Laurence
Laurence and Rebecca thanks for your comment. Yes it is The Bahamas but I am not there again. Just a hangover from the three years there previously. This was taken in a September and yes April is too early. Following work in The Bahamas I have retired and remain so. I live not in Scotland but the East Midlands. I did recently revisit Penang for three weeks to try out my new Z7 camera. Missed the really exciting weather there (see the video posted by me but not taken by me of a large waterspout that passed the apartment where I stayed in clouds in video) by a few days but it showed its potential with some lovely tropical sunsets and sunrises. However lightning photography has been my passion since I took my first shot in 1973 in Perth, WA.
The right place at the right time was actually on the balcony of the apartment I rented in Nassau which was 30m from the water’s edge. Frustrating when a storm is on the other side of the building but it soon moved the the open sea and gave me many good photos. Storms are always about right time, right place and right camera settings. They can be planned for knowing the weather locally or just keeping ones eye’s open knowing the conditions.
This shot was of lightning appearing to move ‘up’ as the configuration suggests.
Beautiful and dramatic storm picture out to sea over the Bahama Islands, Mike!
Certainly had been at the right place at the right time in order to capture such an amazing shot at night! Didn’t think that such storms happen over the Bahama Islands in the Caribbean in mid-April(spring for them), as I though they occurred much more often in Summer(June/July/August) when the summer temperatures and humidity are definitely at their highest and most uncomfortable. Can’t stand 35 degrees and 90% humidity in summer- a storm in the evening would certainly provide much needed relief!
The lightning appears almost like a dead tree, with it many off-shoot branches or like a set of twisted forks about to haunt and then reach out to its onshore victims! The dark blue/green sea in the foreground looks surprisingly calm!

Hi Mike!
As ever, from you, a fantastic photo. A supreme capture. Love it much indeed!
I recall some months ago you returned to the UK in Scotland and now it seems you are back in the Bahamas. I thought you retired – some 3 times, I think – but it seems you are back in work again. At least, behind the camera and producing lovely photo work and able to witness marvellous spectacular vistas like the one portrayed in your photo/
It is a pleasure to see your photographic work again. “BIFFO”!
Best wishes and wishing you a very Happy Easter.
Laurence
