Nice pic of the turbulence of the storm in the background with the tranquility of the lake in foreground.
Sort of like the lull before the storm.
Good one Dave

thanks Rick, it was a beautiful evening, but I quickly packed it in when the shelf of the thunderhead arrived almost overhead - the downdraft of the wind was getting very strong, and it had started to spit with rain

LOL i had my umbrella up and was sitting in a metal chair dug into the ground by my weight, near two tall trees and a 120AH deep cycle battery powering the K10D....what could possibly go wrong.
I wanted to go and lob a few big squid baits into the harbour tonight in the hope the jewies might be about for a few hours after tea , but heard that Sydney had copped it , and checked the weather radar for Newcastle, , so much for that ....
Hi David,
Great shot.
How long did you keep shutter open for?
I took this pic with 32sec and then another 32sec ICNR (which you can't turn off) with the Pentax K20d, so I missed a lot of good shots.

40 seconds per shot - dropped the iso to 200 but kept the f2.8. love your shot, where did you set up, i was in the parking area near the little roundabout past the bridge at Warners bay
Thats a hell of a shot Dave, I like the silvery tones and the contradiction between the calm water foreground and the violence of the electrical storm.

yes i picked that location for two reasons - one the storm was heading that way and two - it is really shallow - and is always like a mirror when no breeze. Note when a southerly comes through it is a white water area with little waves thanks for the Comment Phil;
What do you use to stack them? And, what's your trick to reaching perfect focus?

I used startrails.de and for the focus I used an auto focus on the lights on the far side of the lake then selected manual focus after that. I will have to cover t the raw DNG files the Pentax produces into tiffs then do the process over again
thanks for the Comment Phil;
