Hi guys long time no post. A couple of lightning pics for you to have a look at, the first image was a test on settings, wasn't quite right but I'll put it up anyway.

Woo hoo! Good captures Leigh. :D
I'd say you were lucky living out that way and getting some great storms but it certainly has its downside.

Hope you've been well and that we'll catch up sometime soon and swap war stories.

:lol:

Good thing about it we only got a little rain, most of the action went around us. It stormed around two hours before it started to rain so I had plenty of time to try and get a half decent shot. Not to bad for a first timer, bit of luck might storm again tonight. :D

Wow! Pretty cool, only a bit too close for my liking!! I heard you guys had 8cm hail up that way yesterday :shock: Hope there wasn't too much damage. Great effort for a first timer....my first lightning shots were a little unsuccessful....the storm was too far away!

Bring it on... great stuff, I love it. But like BBJ knows all to well we just dont get big storms down here so we just sit and wait and pull the boots on at any sign of those clouds rolling through

Nice work. I had no luck trying to do same thing. Ended up taking pix of the power lines until the rain ended the session.
