I love big storms. As soon as there is one that promises lots of lightning, I try and get out there. I do realise the dangers though and am careful.
Taking photos of lightning is tricky and the correct F stop must be used to ensure; firstly enough depth of view in the shot, (at night this is not a huge problem) and secondly that you have a long enough exposure to record it. Composition is quite difficult as lightning is unpredictable and often many shots are required.
Shot 1 is taken over the Kloof gorge.
Shot 2 is taken over Pinetown.
Shot 3 is taken on the way down from the Valley of Desolation outside Graaff- Rienet
Enjoy the photos and have a great day, Carl.
PS. If anyone wants a print please give me a shout
What amazing pic's. When I lived in Morningside I use to love watching the lightening over the sea. I was happy as long as it stayed there, any nearer home and I get petrified.
