    Thank You everyone for your kinds comments! :) This would be my favourite shot I’ve ever taken, being there and seeing it leap out the cloud was something you had to see to believe. Then came the thunder!! oh boy was it powerful

    WOW, extremely well executed. How hard is to capture one of those ?

  • Thank You! It is not as hard as it seems once you get the composition right. You just need a sturdy tripod and remote into your camera. Always shoot lightning on bulb, if there is a tip I could give. You control the camera, do not let it control you (i.e, setting for 20-30 seconds exposures etc). You also need to be in a place where there is plentiful lightning and Darwin in Australia has just that in the wet season.
