Force of Nature

It was a steamy hot day today. The dark clouds were rolling in over the city. According to the weather app, there was no rain forecast. The Bureau of Meteorology radar said otherwise. It showed a massive storm happening over the bay. I jumped in the car and raced down to Seaford Pier. I was hoping to catch the lightning display due West, directly down the centre of the pier, but the storm had shifted by the time I arrived. It was hard to pick a bad spot to set up for a photo.

I've never taken photos of lightning before, so there was plenty of trial and error while I dialled in my settings. There were many shots of nothing, but I got some spectacular shots like this one. Really happy for my first attempt.
