Awesome Sydney Lightning

Ordinarily I would be very unhappy about being stuck at work at midnight but not last night!
I noticed this display going on out of the office window so set my camera timelapsing. This is looking North-East from Rushcutters Bay in Sydney.

Wow Hugh !!!

Seriously they are some of the best lightning shots I've seen!
Just love the way the lightning lights up the thunder heads.

Awesome work!

Cheers,

Justin.
