I normally only post my work related images on my front page, but I love a good thunder storm &  I managed to capture some extraodinary images recently, so I thought I’d share.

After my complaining on my Facebook business page that I was feeling board & uninspired over the Christmas season, my Xmas wish for something to shoot came true &  a few days ago we had an amazing thunder storm, which really rocked my world. I live for a good storm to shoot & summer storms are the best because often they are not accompanied by lengthy rain squals as well, usually we get a lot of lightening & not much rain. On the 3rd of January I was woken out of a sound sleep at 3 AM by a clap of thunder some way off, I was out the door & on location within 30 minutes. I worked until dawn, when I ran out of dark to shoot any more, I’d taken 90 shots & had gotten some amazing images.
The lightening was still going off, so I used the early morning quiet on the roads to head into the city & check out some spots for the next opportunity. It was an amazing sight to see lightening across the river so close that it dwarfed the buildings as I drove down William St at sunrise. I’m hoping for some more lightening opportunities as the cooler weather dissipates & it heats up during this next week or so.
The featured image is the 1st shot of the night, so I hope you can see why I was so excited….I’ve added some more of the best ones into my Landscape gallery….Hope you enjoy.
