Geelong Lightning - "Three Strikes, Your Out"

Simply stunning….....

Excellent work, nice one.

I second that Cathy…..WOW! awesome shot Peter, you certainly captured some wild storm activity!!

Such an incredible and powerful image Peter. Well done.

Awesome shot Peter!

Spectacular Peter – well timed. I especially love your composition – the way the pier draws you into the picture, the mauve tones and lighting on the horizon are great contrasts too. I don’t think you were lucky! This looks like a well thought out shot to me!

excellent; drama ,impact & composition great

note the finger on the hand of cloud pointing to the bolts

Stunning!! WOW is right!

Fantastic image with perfect timing & exposure, capturing a spectacular display and definitely deserves a ‘WOW’, Peter!!!

Stunning capture and wonderful PoV.

Stunning shot….!!

Awesome, stunning, superb shot and instant fave, well timed m8.

Brilliant show of natures powers

Great work Peter! Right place, right time. A winner!

Fantastic Shot. Well done.

Great catch Peter! I love the way that the lightning has complimented the city lights.

What an amazing shot Peter.
You really nailed it!
The arm and hand of the cloud is so spooky! I love it!!!

That is an amazing capture Peter…..Fantastic work.

OMG>>>the finger of GOD!!! Thats just awesome!!!

You definitely have a winner here Peter, what a great great shot. And the arm stretching out and the finger pressing the “lightening button”!!
Reckon we will see this shot a few time more!

And the Lord sayeth Take that!!!! And that Peter Redmond shall capture my work and share it with every one!
Wow Peter what an amazing capture the lightning strike is one thing but the cloud formation takes this to a whole other level. The city lights and the way you have framed this photo is fantastic well done.

Awesome shot Peter. The lightning capture in itself is superb, but that arm reaching out discharging that bolt from the tip of that finger is incredible. A one in a million capture.

outstanding,

Wow! We watched this type of thing the past two nights, but you have done so well to capture the strike! Brilliant work Peter!

Lovely shot.

stunning image Peter

Spectacular!

Amaaazing Pete – love the hand.. sppooky – was a very active evening that you got 3 bolts in only 15 secs.. amazing!

Great capture Peter.

Wow!

Incredibly amazing shot Peter. Was this last night? Lightning last night looked pretty amazing.

A M A Z I N G ! I love lightning shots, but this takes the cake. The arm and hand in the clouds is chilling, in a good way. Looks like you had some help in where to aim your camera, even if you didn’t know it while taking the pic! So very cool.

Congrats again Peter…..I see you’ve made it onto the Herald Sun site with this shot. I hope to see it in the paper tomorrow. Fantastic work, and congratulations.

Well done excellent shot!

Great shot Peter, very nicly captured…

Spectacular work, Peter. I was watching the storm brewing, standing on the beach, and then suddenly the torrential rain hit – I made it back to the car soaked to the bone, with some very wet camera gear, but no lightning photos for me :( Great work!

Hey Peter, so cool in the HeraldSun

An awesome storm and brilliantly captured. I was watching it over the bluff at Ocean Grove (without a camera!).

Amazing photo Peter, truly inspiring.

Wow. I just read about it going in the Herald Sun. That is quite an honour! I was in Melbourne and the cloud cover made the lightening all sheet and not bolt. A little disappointing. Congrats on the newspaper feature!

After trying - and failing - to shoot a lightning storm during an inbound typhoon, I am even more impressed with this shot. Excellent.

wow wow

Great shot. Simply stunning

Excellent capture Peter. Great composition. Congratulations on the dual newspaper features!

Excellent shot!!!

Outstanding image!

At such a HIGH ISO how do you keep from getting the noise in the photo. It is a great shot!!! Professional!

Bloody Brilliant shot. Well Done!

Congrats on the front page Peter ~ pity they cropped out the arm though
...and also page 11 (I think) of the Herald Sun too ~ at least they printed the whole photo

Wow…really amazing! Great work!

Thanks Karen.

Good ‘ol Geelong eh!!! Really putting on a show for us here. Magnificent capture, I think I would have been alittle scared that night if I had been there.
