Title: Lightning Storm 19th May 09
Post by: Steveo74 on May 20, 2009, 08:38:30 am
Just got home from work and was sitting in the kicthen talking to the wife, I noticed the dog barking from a few doors up and went see what was up, I went to the bedroom and straight away an almighty flash happened.  Got the video with my Sony T50 & iphone, images with Nikon D300...  It was a good one...  ;D

Thanks for the comments Martin & Stuart...

Martin, It was right above the house and it was amazing... I have the dog as a warning alarm for me as every time there is thunder the dog barks a good 20mins before hand...  ;D

I got a few shots of a cracking rainbow last night... will post when processed....
