Thought to post some Lightning action I came across on Sat Night after chasing storm cells between Toowoomba & Ipswitch way earlier this day.
These were taken near Marburg, view facing North, I reackon the Lightnings were landing all over Wivenhoe Dam, would have made for some excellent reflections !
Focus is a bit soft, periods of moonlight help with the foreground, so tried to make use of it composition wise using the 18-135mm anywhere between 50-100mm !
Hope they are worth the Squizz :question:

No chasing for me Bob, my shot was from the comfort of the back deck!

Awesome series of shots - last Saturday night's storm was a beauty and I'm glad I wasn't under it!!

Cheers,
Mario

Cheers Andrew, making the most of a slow moving storm alway produces a few captures :thumbsup:


Thanx Carlos, the show was about 5-8k away & was producing plenty of solid CG's, quite exilerating none the less :thumbsup:


Im a bit of a Rex Hunt with storms Mario, smell the destruction, chase it, catch it, kiss it and throw it back Lol , , :P


Thank you Rick :thumbsup:



Cheers H, appreciated mate...



Good sparks hey, on second thoughts, I doubt I actually chase them, if they come my way, I jump in the car & tread on the gas, Lol, better at a distance mate, yep, :D


Appreciated Laurie :thumbsup:



Thank you Tony :thumbsup:



Hey cheers Ric, some storms just work better, I'm good at predicting the ones that dont work ;) so am pretty happy with this lot :thumbsup:


Thanks Derek, chasing I find addictive, good fun hey. cheers :thumbsup:
