I expected a lot of lightnings last evening and when it started I unplugged power from internet connection, for security reasons and had so time to watch what happens outside towards the Kouklia windpark through closed window.
First my favourite one, showing the windmill lights as well...
One flash a bit the shape of Cyprus
More towards Timi beach
strange shape and blurry due to heavy rain now
Just to explain: every pic is on 30 seconds exposure time and needs another 30 seconds developing, where you have to wait until the next exposure.
Many times there are nice lightnings exactly at the time you have to wait....and no lightnings when exposure time is. Sometimes frustrating.
I did 80 pics to get some result, hence nearly 2 hours time gone.

I admire your patience. The windmills look weird with long exposure.

Re: Two hours spent for lightning spectacle last night
Don't worry, when there is nothing else I can do except going to bed I enjoy to wait for good results, however as there is obviously not much interest in night pics, I can't be bothered to spent time and post it on here in future....

Very spectacular Max, like Dominic said the windmills look weird.
I started off with nothing and have most of it left !
