Lightning Crawlers missing the Q1 Building

[astronobob]

Stuck under a bridge whilst lighting and rain abound, what a blast !
This location will one day produce multiple strikes on that Iconic Q1 Building in Surfers Paradise one of these nights :prey: but not this time :doh:
3rd capture (nice CG) is from 10k nth, Paradise Point, same night.

Long term forecast suggests more of the same next weekend with possible embedded 'lows', could be more rain which is always a good thing :question:

[h0ughy]

wow now thats impressive and brave getting out for those

[zenith]

Awesome! I recon I'd feel a bit giddy hearing it pop and buzz overhead, even from under a bridge.

[DJScotty]

Awesome shots. Good thing there are other things to photograph when we can't see nebula! 😆

[astroboof]

I can almost smell the lightning Bob, wide lens? 12mm or abouts ??

Had over 2" steady rain up here since yesterday, bliss!

So we are off to the great ocean road for a two week tour tomorrow, maybe the weather could be warmer down there!

These shots were definitely worth hiding under that bridge! The colours are so spectacular.

Nice ones Bob thought you may be copping it I could see it from down here in the pre dawn light the other day.

Thankyou all,

David: It is all in good fun hey :thumbsup:

Tim: True as a buzz can be, was directly under some of them, sounded like they were going around one open side under bridge to the other :cool2:

Scott: Cheers, making the most of it mate :thumbsup:

Steve: A Sigma 10-20 @ 10mm :thumbsup: Great to see some wet your way, & Have a great time of the great road - I never been that far down yet, One day !

Billi: Thankyou, the White balance can play tricks with Lightning, just go with what looks best :thumbsup:

Col: Lucky to capture that one as the activity stopped not long after arriving there :thumbsup:

Derek: Cheers, and yeah, ive seen it down your way quite a bit lately, actually could be rather stormy your way again this Satdy, and prob at Gympie surrounds way as well, The Goldy being its usual Donut Hole tho season is young :thumbsup:

[Regulus]

I think I've mentioned elsewhere how envious I am that you northerners have these sorts of storms, and this is why. As well as that nice clean ozone smell afterwards :-)
Nice shots mate.

[REVEREND]

Great shots. We don't get many storms like that.:sadeyes:
Cheers Reverend.

Thanx Trevor & Raymond,

Its becoming a popular past time around here last few yrs, every man with his camera turns up sometimes, well in the popular spots!

Mind you, there's been about 30 storm over the area this way last few weeks, tho only a couple have made it close to home so far, gotta be our turn again soon, , we let everyone else have a taste and then the Big One will come Straight as Us :eyepop: ;)
