Taken on the same night as these two (just click on the pics):


This second pic has a link to an animated time lapse version of the whole storm – 91 photos linked into a sequence so you get to see the whole storm in 23 seconds.

Storm off Bundeena Cliffs, Royal National Park just south of Sydney Australia.
This shot has all my favourite elements in one image – the moon, stars, lightning, storm clouds, ocean and moonlit rocks. What a treat this night was – getting some fantastic storms here. This is about the sixth I’ve photographed.
Canon 1Ds MkIII – 16-35mm f/2.8 LII USM lens
Tv: 30secs
Av: f/3.2
ISO: 200
FL: 27mm
Here’s another couple of crops of the same image:

    Brilliant Geoff! I really admire the rage of the storm against the clear starry sky and that fabulous moon

  • Thanks Ally – it was a pretty stark contrast – magic night.
