Lightning over the isle of Wight
We do not get much thunder and lightning in England, normally one good storm every 5 years!
This was one of those nights I was watching it develop across the English Channel from northern France and in the end went out at 12.00 pm and headed for the cliffs in Bournemouth.
I set the camera up in the light rain and took this shot in the first 5 minutes and then the rain turned nasty and given I had no rain cover or my large green cloth I gave up and headed back to the car as I really did not want to destroy the R5 two weeks before a photo trip to France. Really nice flash of lightning that covered 80 degrees of the view.
