4385 photo’s and I finally got the one I was looking for!
My entry for the next competition “Photoshop Creative Challenge” Entry for CONTROVERSY CHALLENGE RPA.
The Isle of Cumbrae in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland.
This was my first attempt at lightening. I quickly learned that this is an artform all on its own. I thought I had about 50 great shots. When I got home and checked everything out – I had just TWO shots that showed any lightening – this is one of them! I have a question: Why do my lightening shots appear grainy. I need help in knowing what settings I should use for this specialty.
This is a collaborative transatlantic entry between myself and the incredibly talented and totally awesome billyboy in Belgium for RedBubbles Gaia – The Living Planet competition. Now, I’m not a religious person, but I wanted to illustrate by using billyboys Noah’s Ark image that if we dont start taking care of this planet we are living on I truly / believe we will be in for a disaster of biblical proportions. All that is beautiful and wondrous will simply disappear… like so many ephemeral bubbles. We are all interconnected, and we must find our harmony with Gaia, or risk losing it all. Many thanks to billyboy for sharing my vision, and giving so generously of his time, blood, tears and love to bring this vision into glorious life.

Many thanks to Geoff Coleman for graciously lending me his lightening bolt to create this image. He hasn’t seen it yet so I hope he likes it! The highway image was taken on our trek across the Nullabor Plain when we moved from WA to Tasmania, on the part where there is not one single bend in the road for 100km’s… or is it 100miles? Oops… I forget, nevermind, I am sure someone will let me know =) It’s a bloody long stretch of straight road anyways ;) Stormchaser I no longer hide under the bed =)
Wash away my sins…and help me forget, for it hurts too much without you… My first attempt at photomanipulation using stock. The background is all mine though. Gotta love Michigan summer storms! Well Ok fine! Michigan summer storm clouds, since the lightening is painted :) My entry in the LLD5 competition.

Featured in Extreme Weather Group Featured in CanonDSLR Group Featured in Lightening and Storms Group Featured in Severe Weather Group Taken just after sunset, on March 25th 2009, in Berowra NSW Australia. This storm cell moved from West in the Blue mountains in a Easterly direction, just to the South of me, so I was able to watch it track from the mountains across to Sydney. The lightening was amazing, what would start as a flicker would then continue to branch out across the cloud, not going downwards as usual, it appeared to start at the bottom of the cloud and spread like tentacles across the storm cell. Canon 5D / ISO – 50 / f/5.6 / 8s / 22mm focal length Wikipaedia: / Another terminology used for cloud-cloud or cloud-cloud-ground lightning is “Anvil Crawler”, due to the habit of the charge typically originating from beneath or within the anvil and scrambling through the upper cloud layers of a thunderstorm, normally generating multiple branch strokes which are dramatic to witness. These are usually seen as a thunderstorm passes over the observer or begins to decay. The most vivid crawler behaviour occurs in well developed thunderstorms that feature extensive rear anvil shearing. /
