Cape Liptrap Storm
On Nov 29 I witnessed an awesome storm cell at the Cape Liptrap lighthouse. The lightning got so close I had to stop the cameras and lay low to avoid being hit. Some of the brightest bolts I've ever seen.

Great shots Colin. That last one is a cracker. Love the cloud structure in the images. Certainly looks like a super cell.

Wow, what a storm! I can certainly appreciate the fear factor from a rapidly approaching lightning storm

So amaizing, seeing the storm base approaching through consecutive frames, What an experience and well captured, some put up with cold for sunrises and astro, others put up with solar imaging, but facing a super cell head on is so much more Epic, Dangerous & Thrilling Etc !
