Nov 14, 2011 04:53 | #1 The storm season is upon us as summer approaches in the southern hemisphere. I love storms, just not the humid build up. I shot this about an hour ago in our backyard in Coffs Harbour. It seems a cross between an electrical storm and an A-bomb!

Yep, you're right, I just wish it would rain. It's too hot, too early. Most probably means we're in for a cool, wet summer, just like last year, at least on the north coast.

The colours are a little too pushed/saturated for my taste but still a great shot! 1DmkIV: 2x 5DmkIII: 2x 5DmkII: 5D: 7D: 15mm Fish: 17-40L: 24-105L: 70-200L IS (v1): 35L: 135L: 85mm f1.8: Σ50mm f1.4: Σ105mm f2.8 Macro: Σ120-300mm f2.8

Before I took this shot, my daughter remarked on the amazing colours in the clouds when the lightning did it's thing. Unfortunately, it seems that the human eye is not quick enough to catch these striking colours, but thankfully the camera sensor (with a 30 second exposure) captures a lot more of the colour.

ardeekay Cream of the Crop  More info | Nov 14, 2011 16:25 | #9 That was a 30 second exposure?? Looks like the clouds were just roiling(Think that's the word) and would have been a blurry mess in that time span. I got a lot to learn about night and long exposure photography. That is an amazing shot-thanks for sharing! Rog

That is an amazing shot-thanks for sharing! I told a falsehood! It was actually not 30 secs, but 13 secs exposure. (I just checked the exif data). From that point on I shot at 30 seconds. Oooops...
