Seen them mate thanks :wink:

I was talking to him last night about the storms.
We in NNSW mist them again; I’m starting to think it’s going to be a slack year for lightning around this region.

Hi,

Does Marty travel with a lightning arrestor ?
His elevation seems higher than the area the lightning bolts went in.
I just imagine the headline, charr grilled photographer discovered after severe thunderstorm.
(I wonder how the D70 would hold up)

That’s a good point mate.
Considering how many there are of us here in OZ chasing these things I’ve yet to hear of anyone being hit.
There’s been a few close calls; I for one can vouch for that !!!!!!! :shock:

Here’s one of mine from a coulpe of years back.
Taken with a Coolpix 5700, it actually made the front page of the local paper.

I ended up with about 30 images that night, awesome display!!!!!! :shock:

Wow, lightning pic is fantastic. If I had more patience I'd probably be a storm chaser too.

G'day Christian,
I know it can handle the kick from an electric fence...! A damn site better than I did, considering I ended up flat on my arse... :shock:

Main thing was I didn't lose any shots on the card tho... hmmm, priorities, priorities...

Cheers,
