Posted: Fri Oct 21, 2005 8:58 pmYup the new toy (it almost got wet ). The kit lens in my opinion is one of the most underated lens available to us

Posted: Fri Oct 21, 2005 9:52 pmsweet shot mate, a bit soft / blurry maybe? good work on catching the lightning though, certainly not easy! I nearly got killed rather stupidly the last time i tried it 
Posted: Fri Oct 21, 2005 10:27 pmThe rain was actually coming down rather heavily which may account for some of the softness.
Posted: Sat Oct 22, 2005 1:46 amJohn, I was at Mooloolaba at the height of the storm picking up some Thai food opposite the Surf Club when one of those bolts hit very close. About 50 people jumped as one as it struck. Where did you take the picture from .... Caloundra?
Posted: Sat Oct 22, 2005 2:04 amNicely captured What was the exif on that pic?
Jethro, that's an awesome cloud formation. Very nice but still scary
