a little bit of lightning from Home 26 November 2012
I took this series of shots tonight from the front veranda at around 10pm when the front of storms came through. not really a pretty view with the power lines, but hey you work with what you have - its a pity we didnt get any rain, but then the lightning wouldn't have been visible.
Wow, I'd never thought about stacking the shots. I love it.
How'd you keep the clouds from blurring over the 20 odd minutes?
i didnt as it was that active - there are some shots that were covered but overall who cares - it was brilliant to watch. doing the sums it is around the 16 min mark
WOW fantastic David!!!!
might have to revisit some of my lightning shots and stack them.....

yep it was only a flesh wound. quite a number of years ago, i think when my daughter was one or two we had a series of storms that came through - in one night there were over 20000 strikes air to ground in the space of an hour. I have never been so frightened as that night - i even stayed away from the windows and anything electrical in the house. from my place to the north east is a major substation just the other side of the uni. there were lots of green and orange strikes that night there.... I had a film camera then and wasnt game to set it up either
