The Capture of Eilean Donan Castle was an land-based naval engagement that took place in 1719 during the Jacobite rising of that year, and the War of the Quadruple Alliance. A British naval reconnaissance force of three ships attacked the castle of Eilean Donan on the west coast of Scotland, which was held by Spanish troops. After a naval bombardment, the British government forces stormed the castle, and the defenders surrendered. The castle was subsequently destroyed with gunpowder.

There are not many occasions where you'll find your heart pumping faster than when standing on an open beach in a fierce lightning storm but at midnight last night, I sprinted from my car to set up the tripod between heavy squalls at Perch Rock Lighthouse.

I used a weather radar app (AccuWeather on Android) to inform me when the rain was about to clear and for how long which last night, proved itself invaluable. I set up the tripod and adjusted the settings on my Sony a7R3 and repeatedly pressed the shutter release cable button every 15" until I eventually managed to capture a lightning strike right next to Perch Rock Lighthouse.

The inclusion of the crane platform to the left pleases me immensely for it adds an extra layer of interest as well as helping to balance out the composition. Having returned home at 6.30am, I think a couple of hours sleep is in order. Have a great day everyone.

INSANITY by Vaughan Laws

225 16

This is INSANITY.

Basically called it this because the lightning strikes I think look insane!

I didn't plan this shot/shots of lightning. I was looking out the window at home to see if there was going to be a good looking sunset, but it was getting really dense, dark clouds rolling in so I thought id give it a miss. but then I went out to the car a hour later and there was a massive crack right above my head. That was pretty much it. when I see lightning I'm out. I ran and grabbed my gear and was on the road. I made a call not to go beachside this time because I was following the directions of the strikes and they were heading south easterly inland. I pulled up near the freeway to an overpass and decided to get a 2 in 1 shot of some light trails and lightning. It was the best i could do with the timing and situation i was in. This image is a 4 image stack. I will be uploading some of the single image strikes over the next few days when I get around to it. I was considering uploading this one last, but I couldn't bring myself to do that. hope enjoy your viewing as much as I enjoyed taking the shot :)

Feel free to tell me what you think.

one of the last shot I got from a storm back in November 2015... pretty much uploading this one due to the constant disappointment we have been having with our sever thunderstorm warnings. nothing has eventuated the past 4 times there has been warnings. disappointing! This is just to remind me to keep trying.
