Big Bang from Last night

[Astroman]

Hi all,

A huge Day/Night of Storms across SA, at last.... Spent most of the evening in the Mid-North area, around Tarlee, Kapunda, Riverton and Roseworthy. Some of the closest stuff below...

Brilliant Andrew

Number 3 is a cracker :thumbsup:

Did you notice any changes in the scent of the air as the storm was raging?

[Astroman]

Thanks Brad, Chris.

Chris, I didn't notice anything, unusual, I was trying to keep low at this point since I was not in the car at the time.

I love a good lightning shot and they are good lightning shots.

These look a bit close for comfort! Lovely stuff.

[Astroman]

Thanks guys, yes it did get a little close, many of these were quite quick and didn't give me much time to duck.

[CJ]

Wow. Very impressive!

[rcheshire]

Stunning! #3 is a cracker :)

[Ric]

Wonderful shots Andrew

I'm still waiting for some storms to use my "Lightning Trigger"

It's been nothing but clear skies since I bought it. :P

[Astroman]

Thanks Guys, yeah waiting for storms to test out my new ND filters and Rain Cover, cannot wait, need to move to Darwin for a while.

Awesome shots. I particularly like #3 as the ground is nicely illuminated.

What camera and lens were you using?

[Astroman]

Thanks for the Reply. I was using a Canon 1100D and Canon 17-40mm F4L USM Lens at 17mm. A mate of mine was less than 500m up the road and caught the same Bolt using a 10mm lens and it still didn't show it all...

Man alive they look close! Great shots! I wouldn't have the guts. Not that close.
