Lightning

Batemans Bay and South Coast Lightning Show – November 9-10, 2011

· by Cameron

So yesterday afternoon, a nice little storm front approached from the west, but didn’t really pack any action. It rained for about 1 minute only lightly.

When the storm was overhead, I got a couple pictures of some Mammatus Cloud, the camera didnt really show the detail all that well but you get the idea…

Then after a few hours of calm, midnight was approaching and so was the massive storm over all of SE Australia… On the radar it was measuring roughly 500km x 500km, but probably a group of cells. Either way, it brought some rain along with it, after midnight the rain stopped but a great lightning show occured until about 2am which I got my first ever lightning pictures with, which was pretty damn awesome! Here are a couple of my fave lightning shots below.
