Hi - great topic

Me and my sharp shooting Ricoh R1V captured this lick of light over a boiling brisbane storm

Wish it was on film - too capture more detail

Also another perspective so its worth a look

Welcome Tohnanon,

Looks like an active storm producing an anvil crawler almost overhead? Awesome! Do you recall the date?

Regards,

If this isnt my favouite pic,then it runs a very very close second .This was taken near Nowra,February 24 2007.This partcular storm brought 2-3cm hail and strong winds to the area. After a very wet February the countryside was nice and green,creating a lovely scene for lightning photography.



My brother took this one from Shoalhaven Heads Beach near Kiama(December 29 2006). This particular storm was very lightning active flashing a few times a second. Here its located 20kms off the coast,and showing dark red radar echos at the time. Unfortunately low level cloudcover developed(thanks to a weak SE change)spoiling the show. Why is it a favourite?I like it how the lightning goes into clear air,dissapears behind the low cloud,and reappears again.The updrafts are lit up nicely as well.




Cheers
Michael

Hi guys,
More great shots here that are awesome to see as always!

Hi pingtang, I've seen that shot from Nowra a few times now and it still looks amazing, great job! Talk about being in the right place at the right time in the right storm! It always makes me laugh when you see how oblivious the cows seem to be of the "electrical carnage" going on! "BBQ anyone?"

Cheers and take care.

P.S. Great thread Mike! I hope I get to add few more photos here in the coming months!
