Nothing Shocking by Eric Abernethy
I am addicted to lightning. Its been one long photo shoot since 1996 when I started attempting to capture lightning photographs in unique surroundings. There is something spiritual about mother nature and lightning happens so fast and then its gone. Like a snow flake no bolt is the same and I feel honored to capture and witness any flash from the ground and the skies above. I hope a few Bubblers will catch the vibe.

Raging! by Andrew Murrell
This was Somersby Falls like I had never seen it before. The June storm from 2007 which caused havoc and mayhem across the Hunter and Central Coast dumped unbelievable amounts of water. This image of Somersby falls was taken about 40 minutes after sunrise on the Saturday Morning so it will be among the first images to catch this scene of the falls raging after the storm. The noise of the falls was almost deafening and the spray had me damp before I got to the base of the falls. The water was up and over my shoes while taking this image. It is presented now as I thought that i had lost this image along with many others after a harddrive failure. / Image taken with a Nikon D70 and the 18-70mm lens. The apeture was full open at f3.5 to get a fast exposure time to freeze the water action. Featured in In the Eyes of Danger / Featured in Central Coast and Hunter

New to Science by Nephrurus
This spectacular snake is relatively new to science. Described only a few years ago, the Pygmy King Brown Snake Pseudechis weigeli is found in rocky areas in northern Australia. It is superficially similar to the King Brown Snake Pseudechis australis but differs having maximum size of only 4ft (King browns are much larger), a finer, thinner head and undivided sub-caudal scales. Although no fatalities have been recorded from this species they should be treated with extreme caution.

Suta portrait by Nephrurus
This is a Myall Snake Suta suta from Terrick Terrick NP, Central Victoria. We didn’t have much luck locating plains wanderers, but we did find a couple of these little fellas. They seem to be moving about at the most unlikely times, moonlit nights; cold, windy nights, etc… It was nice seeing some, all the same. -H

Waiting for Dinner by Nephrurus
This Stimsons Pythons was found hunting for frogs on a creekbed that had dired up to a few stagnant pools. THere were many Desert Tree Frogs and Green Tree Frogs hopping around the edge of the pools. Presumably this what this python was after.

Keelback and a Giant Burrowing frog by Nephrurus
We found thii keelback trying to devour this Burrowing from in the North Kimberley. The frog was alive when we found the two, but eventually died after about 30 minutes, by about the time the snake got both back legs down it’s throat. The remaining 1.5 hours we watched the snake struggle and struggle to get the arms in his mouth. We ended up leaving it not knowing the result, needing a few short hours sleep before checking traps the next morning. -H

Storm at the Beach by Andrew Murrell
This was about 4pm on the 20th November 2009. One of the most electrical active storms I have seen came slowwwly across Umina beach and I was able to catch about 30 daylight lightning strikes. This is one of the better ones as it has not just the lightning but a typical beach feel. Just b4 this image was taken the lifeguards came down and closed the beach. This image taken with a Nikon D300 and the 18-70mm lens. Set at f18 and at .5 second exposure time.

Empty by Andrew Murrell
Considering this was a day in the high 30’s the beach was empty by 4pm due to a severe thunderstorm. This slow moving cell was unbelievably active for lightning and it was easy to catch daylight lightning strikes. Taken with a Nikon D300 using the 18-70mm lens at f18

Daylight lightning by Andrew Murrell
I have wanted to get some good images of Daylight lightning for a while now and the 20th Nov 2009 was the day. A very slow moving storm cell passed overhead, and it was amazing in it’s activity. This image was taken about 10 minutes after the storm had passed overhead. But as it was moving very slowly it was still far to close to be in the open. Just after this image a bolt struck less that 100m off the beach where I was, made me jump about 6 foot. Image taken with a Nikon D300 and the 18-70mm lens at f18

Reaching Out by Wayne England
Lightning over Henley Beach, Adelaide, SA on 19/11/09 taken from the Henley jetty. It was 43 degrees that day and still seemed to be mid 30’s at about 8.30pm when I took this shot. This was the precursor to the change that moved over Adelaide that night. It was a pretty good thunderstorm – pitty my battery ran out not too long after this! Oh well, I got a few good shots. This is an unprocessed shot taken with Nikon D80, 18-135mm lens, hand held on the jetty rails because I forgot my tripod!

About This Group
danger (dnjr)n.
1. Exposure or vulnerability to harm or risk.
2. A source or an instance of risk or peril.
If you’re standing eye to eye with a fierce creature, at the mouth of a volcano that’s erupting, wading through crocodile infested waters, on a safari with lions jumping at your Jeep, in the eye of a cyclone… These are some of the instances where you’re photography skills set you apart from the rest.
While you take care not to get hurt, the danger of getting that perfect shot is imminent.
Your photo must be real – no zoos, no staged action shots, the danger must be obvious and real.
Good luck and happy shooting :) (be careful out there)
