Another Nice Storm
It's been humid here for a few weeks now so, not surprisingly, we've had some quality storms. We had another nice one last week (20th).
I tried taking some pictures but it's not easy. I tried resting the camera on the balcony with a 15 second exposure time. I tried my best not to move the camera, which was particularly hard when I saw some huge lightning. And I tried taking photos with different ISO settings. I also tried taking pictures of trailing car lights.

Anyway, this is what I came away with. It was a big hit and (mostly) miss but I'm quite pleased with the results.

No, it was to the right of the headland, over the ocean, but I had the camera on a very high ISO setting so the lightning made the image seem a lot brighter than it was.

Good work. How many hundreds of photos did you take to get them?
It was all worth it mate, the second shot is an absolute beauty

Yeah, I took a few, all with a 15 second exposure time.
More often than not lightning would strike just as soon as the 15 secinds had ended! But it was worth doing, especially for that second shot.
I knew it could be a beauty when that lightning bolt flew across the sky. I just had to keep the camera really steady for the last few seconds of the shot.
