For the storm I used a 30 second exposure at f8. The live view function helped the focus. The first photo was shot at 135mm and the second composite image was shot at 200mm. I was only able to use the 135-200mm range as the storm about 20km south. I know the storm was around Hornsby area just prior to the first photo being taken as I was chatting to Miriam my Wife as she left work and the storm was near her at that time.
This photo has been processed beyond hell but it does still look ok and gives you an idea of what i saw with the eye. i processed it in HDR from a single raw image then shot it with curves and levels in cs2.
