Lightning over Glenalta

Hi,
Setup with a lightning trigger, pointed the camera towards the doorway, came back 3 hours later and discovered this pic.

Focus was a fluke as I guessed and backed off a bit, lol.

Cheers!

"Great Scott"! as Dr. Emmett Brown may have said a few times.

Those bolts are so sharp. Well done and great focus.

Many thanks Steve,

It's always good when not expecting a shot and getting a good one!

Cheers,

Damien.

You live in my suburb it seems. Good lightning.

Hi Paul,

But, But, I thought it was MY suburb...LOL, spose we can share. Yeah, had you been driving around the area on the Venus Transit day, then you would have seen me with my scope in the front yard, but I know you weren't because you were busy producing some very spectacular images yourself. Next time I go to an ASSA meeting at the Uni, I'll say G'day!

BTW, is there a constant jetstream that is permanently over Glenalta?

Thanks for your comments.

Cheers,

Damien.

Yes Damien the seeing has been pretty bad from Glenalta this year, well the last couple of years (read non drought conditions). Fortunately the seeing is good at Clayton.
