Nice one Ben.
Was a pretty spectacular show down my way.
Sat on the beach with my little point-and-shoot for close to two hours.
Took plenty of CF cards but didn't take spare batteries!
The storm passed directly over the airport, saw many planes going round and round and round....
Here's my noisy effort, I'm limited to 15sec exposures so this is a composite of 3 shots, which seems to blur things a bit. No processing other than the stack... took me long enough to figure how to do that!
There was heaps of activity, why is it that all the best strikes happen when the camera is doing its 15sec ICNR shot?!
Dunno how to turn ICNR off, if its possible at all with this camera.
Second shot is a crop of one of the planes going round.... again.
Would have been pretty speccy for the passengers!
Added strike map.
Metro seems to have dodged the storm.
Black lines on map are roughly camera's FOV in first shot.
