Excellent! It’s great that you got two strikes of lightning going to “ground” in the one shot.

i actually think there might have been 3 , but my lens wasnt wide enough lol you can just glimpse the 3rd on the right

i was driving back to Sydney on the M7 last night when at sunset, I saw this voluminous puffy white and grey spotted cloud with lights going off in it in the distance. I had no idea what was happening at Ground Zero. Brilliant shot. Makes my fillings ache thinking about our poor bridge though. :)

Philip Johnson replied
thanks gino a wider lens would have helped to get that third bolt, definitely not a good place for a carbon fibre tripod

Fantastic Philip. I’m wondering where you took it from to get a close shot like this.
