My Old Lightning Shots on Forgotten IMG site

[Leo.G]

I found a few old images on a site I'd forgotten about (Imgur) and just found through another old image.


The first image my son captured EXACTLY the same strike (IDENTICAL) with his mobile phone. The phone had a before feature I still don't comprehend but his image is less zoomed in. The one shown here is my capture, all done with a Nikon D80 and no idea what lens.
Third shot (double rainbow and lightning) I eventually threw the old tent frame out, I wish I could remove it from the foreground but I have absolutely no idea how to, my editing skills in PS and Lightroom are very limited.
There's a thought, crop, I'm such an IDIOT!


Sorry, third image is now fourth image and old rotten tent frame has been cropped out. I stuffed the aspect ratio but I don't care.

Nice lightning shots Leo - well done.

I have an obsession with lightning but only when there's no rain. Some people say my obsession will be my undoing, just because the first time I ever photographed it with my 35mm Nikon I was sitting on the ridge capping on a tin roof in the middle of a huge electrical storm in Young, wearing only shorts, no shirt, no footwear.

Mate, you have some angry skies out your way. My kids would be heading under the beds in storms like that lol Great shots!

Sadly not enough decent electrical storms and when we do get them I have this mass of electrical cables out front of my house which show up as the most unsightly mess in my images.
