Just had a cracker of a storm in Redditch plenty of CG & IC illuminating the stunning looking sky, managed to capture a few strikes before the rain fell.

Excellent shot Anton - love the sky colours in that.

Hopefully Mother Nature will send a thunderstorm or two in my direction this weekend. (http://www.mackenzie1963.freeserve.co.uk/Smilies/Angry3_files/crossfingers.gif)

Excellent image Anton!  Saw the same storm too.  Was down at my local stood outside watching approach till the 50 pence rain started falling and I retreated inside...  Got stranded then - lightning was cracking all around, so on health and safety grounds decided the best thing to do was to stay in the pub ;)  Terrible  :P

Just wish I had camera and tripod with me as would have been some brilliant pics!  Hope for somemore today! :)
