#Lightning from early this morning from the remains of #Florence. These bolts were so bright and loud. Had me up from 1-3am. Strongest cell that came over my house was at 2am. Had several close hits...

This was a spectacular event like nothing I’d ever seen before. It was constant for over an hour, with an explosion every two seconds. It extended over the whole northern horizon.
I took over 50 shots, but with the delay from my cool pix I missed them all except these two. You can imagine how long this image hung in the sky. Can you imagine how much of the sky this jolt encompassed ?
The luckiest picture in the world. I pushed the button at exactly the right time. One of my favorites.
There was an awesome thunderstorm in Melbourne during the evening of New Years Day. I put the camera on a tripod on my balcony and took a series of shots with a bulb exposure. A very 'hit and miss' experience - this was really the only shot that turned out half ok.
Taken during daylight, so I had to darken in photoshop a little to show the lightning.
A quick morning storm this eveing. It has a small hail core which was over another area several miles from my house.
Taking pics of lighting is a challenge. When taking pics at night, the lightning is easier to see and react to. This was during the daylight and I didn't think I had captured anything because seeing the lighting was difficult. A new learning curve for me and an added dimension to the ability to see and try to photograph lighting.
