On the way home this evening, caught this after a ton of rain on higheway. Big storm and lightning over the mountains.
Still didn't get any streaks or bolts though
Hand held (resting on window opening of the Pajero) hence it's not super sharp. No way was I getting out and setting up an aluminium tripod
10 secs
f/4.0
ISO 200
Sigma 10-20

Great dramatic image. Is it Mt Tibrogargan? (sp?)(Glasshouse Mtns)
My first thought was 'Close encounters of the 3rd kind.'

Thanks Folks. Photo doesn't really do justice to how wild it was.

Steve, it was Mt Beerwah from the north east. I drove into the forest beside a pineapple farm with Coonowrin to my left. Too many trees in the way to get a shot of Coonowrin (Crookneck) though.

Darb, that was pretty much the colour it was so I did not fiddle around with it too much. Just big flashes going off all over the place.

Great mood captured here, the lovely stark outcrop and the clouds looming over everything. Beautiful stuff! 10 second exposure handheld ?
Nerves of steel!

Great shot Mark. I know of a couple of shopkeepers up here on the range who would sell a framed copy on a commission basis.
Not setting the tripod up in an electrical storm. Chicken.

Thanks again Folks.
Really appreciate your comments.
I have to admit I am generally a little blasé about storms, but no was was I getting out of the car in the spot I was in.
