Canberra Thunderstorm
With nearly a full moon above, I stood on my roof around midnight last night, shooting the thunderstorm that passed to Canberra's north-east. It was easily one of the most electrically active storm-cells I have ever seen. Flashing every 2 to 3 seconds.

Very difficult to capture ad-hoc, and nicely done. A modern day Turner?
