Hi Jimmy,

Yesterday I presented to a group of 120 people at the North Coast Photography Convention at Lismore. Certainly my biggest audience for a presentation. The topic: storm chasing and lightning photography.  It was very well received and quite fun to talk on the subject.

There’s been a few days with coastal thunderstorms lately – I wonder if this off-season will continue the pattern. The latest ones formed just off Ballina on Saturday morning – but it was 4am so I didn’t set the camera up !

Got some other meetings coming up with EWN – most likely a quick trip to Melbourne later this week.
