This just describes the weather here for the last couple 'a months..:crazy:

Any way after this storm went out to sea i thought id get some pics of it with the canon 400dh
30sec at 800 iso on tripod.

one of them is 60 sec at 1600 iso..... the brightest one i spose..:weird:

Hope you enjoy..

If anyone else out there has some storm pics ,, post em up and lets all get angry at the weather gods

This is what I have been getting the last couple of weeks. These are taken in a NE direction from my back verandah. Not the best of pictures tho.

So are you guys both based in the tropics? Those clouds look awesome.

Wish we had some more storms over here. We only get cloud cover and the occasional bit of rain. I really enjoy a good thunder storm. :crazy:

Based in Roma but the last few weeks you would think we were further north. Sunday night a storm dumped 3 inches of rain on us in about 2 hours. Plenty humidity plenty of mozzies not plenty of viewing.

By the way the bluish area behind the clouds is not blue sky.
