At the end of the section summarizing the most important characteristics of TLEs, (and also in this post) video footages have been inserted on thunderstorms and TLEs observed on different continents. These high-quality records demonstrate the level of photography one can reach with acquiring some knowledge and having patience and perseverance.

Starting these activities requires some initial knowledge but the practice itself is not very complicated. The page ‘How to observe TLEs?‘ helps in getting engaged.
