Storms, Central Illinois, August 2025

I determined with a weather app on my phone that the lightning I was witnessing was over fifty miles away, so I thought I would see what my iPhone would capture. These are raw, unedited photos that I thought turned out interesting. I never tried photographing thunderstorms so far away in the pitch darkness of night. The glare in the lower left is the town of Eureka, and I think that’s a planet in the upper right.
