Thanks guy's, I thought #4 might interest you. I was going post it
as the biggest strike I've ever seen but thought maybe that might be
a bit unbelievable lol

David, "the hand of Hell" is still my fav too!

33South, if I had a tripod I'd be somewhere over in that paddock of Xmas
tree kindly supplied by the NSW goverment. Although the pic's dont
show them too well but we have about 30,000-40,000 Xmas tree size
pines planeted around our village.

Stacking them has been an idea I've had for sometime. There are several
more grabs I couldn't include because they lit up the surounding cloud
to much. I selected all the ones that had nicely defined strikes, except for
about 2 or 3 of them which needed to be tweaked. And then just stacked
them as is. I thought I would try this idea using the avi format mainly
because I dont have a camera tripod yet but plan to try again using
exposure times and high resolution in standard camera mode.

Interesting to see how centralised the strikes are. I have really had a
problem of aiming it's the timing thats the tricky one lol but then if you
seeing lightening in action often you start to get instincts on where things
might happen.

Mike, the sky is actually a mixture of all 20 images. Here's what the top
frame looks like. You can see the central puff of cloud doesn't even
register in the stacked version.
