Lightning over Adelaide

Well this is the shot that made it into the 2008 channel ten weather calendar, so I’m pretty proud of that.Getting this into the calendar was my first… ‘public’ recognition of my work so this is a pretty special shot to me.

it is lightning over Adelaide looking down from Mount Osmond. It was taken in December 2006 and featured on the following nights news broadcast.

    I remember that storm – you’ve captured it so well, you can almost see the ionization in that blue-on-blue near the lightning itself. Any wonder it was included in the Channel Ten Weather Calendar! A magnificent shot. It doesn’t completely rely on nature – you were there to witness it!
