Know how you feel. We got our first truly spectacular ligt show of the season, and it came along with about 7cm of rain and a bout 20 minutes worth of hail....At 3am no less.
Can I ask you about shooting LIghtning in the daylight hours by the way, how do you hold the shutter open long enough to get a shot and not totally over expose it?
Still a few more months worth of storm season shooting left yet sit tight
I coudn't take it.....I had to straiten out this a litte. The buildings looked like they were gona fall over. Hope you don't mind. Note: we don't get lightning in CA.

That first one isnt THAT bad anyway...
I just used my polariser to slow it just the tiniest amount + use the smallest ap avail (thus the dust spots) & then just rapid fired with a remote...sooner or later you will get a strike.
7000 stikes & 1 small tornado at the end i just heard on the news.

I like it the way it is.The buildings look like they are being sucked in by a vortex:D

We have had a couple of small tornados down here too. Though typically, I did not have the camera while I was staring at it.
Christmas Day is usually good for a storm, that is if you can move after lunch.
Don't feel so bad they are much better than my lightning shots.

Mate just had a huge hail storm come through. One storm went north of me & the other south. The stuff chokes the roof gutters & downpipes & the water backs up & goes into the ceilings.
The kids are having a ball anyway.Most have never seen snow so roads covered in ice is just as good.
One storm a day booked for the rest of the week they just said on telly.
(& im home on Dr's orders all week..bird flu i think)
