Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Hi,

Very Nice mate.

I love these types of photos and have tried a few myself, unfortunately I haven't been placed in a particularly good spot for most as we rarely get decent lightning storms in Adelaide, perhaps 3-4 a year with decent strikes. We do seem to pick up a bit more sheet lightning, unfortunately that's no where near as exciting to see in a photo (at least IMHO).

Again, great shots, love the landscape in number 2 really gives the picture a good sense of depth.
