Why can't they have good storms on weekends when I can stay up and take photos? The great storms are in the middle of the week!

:/ . My question is, why can't there just be some good storms? No lighting here.

Try Florida mate

Na. I just want lightning. Not lose my home in a wind storm.

No storms here for the past couple of years worth mentioning, I want to go on a holiday about 4500kms NNE of Perth, right in the middle of nowhere they have an amazing amount of lightning.

I captured this as I was walking home from the same place. It is a casino, Star City for those who know.. and not minutes earlier they took $100 from me. So I thought this was revenge.

And it absolutely hooked me on storm photography, but given we have such stable weather here in melbourne , my desire is unfulfilled.

Looks like a scene from The Day After Tomorrow, I liked that movie.

Wow, great shot, gd! They say capturing a lightning flash on camera is actually (or used to be) quite rare...

J - maybe try standing in the middle of an open field with an umbrella in a storm..

How about a copper tripod?

Nice capture gd - if you can pull down lightning to strike your enemies, we should talk. I have a list...

my list first... then subsequent lists after that.....

Toad, did you get anywhere de-grainy-fying (I think that's the dictionary spelling) my scanned WTC picture?
