WOW, Brian. Right place at the right time. Really good work with #3, for me, just off the top.
Thank you...also helps to set up and point camera in the right direction then just leave it to take shots, the storm involving the second shot i forgot that rule, i'd point the camera in one direction, then see more action in a different direction so i would reposition, only to miss a nice bolt where i was originally pointed, that went on for most of the storm and it was a good 5 hour long storm
Loved the storm photo's, caught something like that once. Pretty awesome to watch and really fun when you get it just right as you did.
And like many I went comet hunting last week. Certainly didn't capture some photo's like some did but still was fun. Went out to a rural cemetery to get away from the lights and found the grave markers were kinda nice for a fore ground.

Thank you Dan....it is totally awesome watching mother nature at work during a good light show, either through getting pictures of it or just watching it, last storm i was out enjoying, the one that lasted 5 hours i was standing on a beach looking out over lake superior taking pictures as the storm moved out over the lake when all of a sudden a bolt came down to the ground maybe a 1/2 mile from me, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up, i was blinded for a couple of seconds by the intensity of the light and the thunder clap was instantaneous...loved it
your shots of the comet are great and the foreground sets it off nicely, glad you got to see it, i went out saturday night, there was a small threat of the northern lights being out but they didn't show and the comet is next to impossible to find by the naked eye, i only got lucky by pointing the camera in the right direction, iso6400, 20 second ss, f/2.8 and even at that in dark skies it was very faint so, for being closet to earth on the 23rd it sure is fading fast
Sharing my favorite Lightning shot from years ago. Probably have shared it before but what the heck............ Storm must have been 50 miles away and you could see stars above the clouds. We had perfectly clear sky's but out there it was rolling big time. Lightning every few seconds, fun to watch.
Also included a wall cloud we once had move over us, were up in the UP of Michigan when it came off Lake Superior.

gorgeous, both shots Dan, love these storms around the big lake, it is like mother natures air conditioner at work on a hot day, i am having withdrawls with the closed borders and not being able to get along the lake shore in Minnesota and down to Duluth

Hey Dan. here in the aurora storm at High Falls that i mentioned in the pm
an October storm from Split Rock lighthouse and along the north shoreline
Thank you, but, look at those cloud formations and the colors, "it pales" is not a description i would use and when something like this can be viewed and enjoyed right from your doorstep ya just can't go wrong
The last two nights have just been too perfect not to go punch holes in the sky. Chandler and I flew a couple of hours last night and I went out and shot landings for 1.2 tonight..............Good for the soul!
Not as dramatic, but there's an invoice attached to this one. The client didn't ask for a video but over delivering is never a bad strategy, particularly in 2020.............
My R5 will be in tomorrow, but there's a photographer who needs it worse than I do at the moment so I'm going to let it go and wait for the next round.
I’ve been trying to develop my Nightscape skills in the last few weeks. Over here in the south UK the moon has been below the horizon at night so going out late evening / early morning gave me the best chance of capturing the Milky Way core. Sadly, even though some of the street lights where out I could not see the core. The camera kinda got some of it – I need to go somewhere properly dark.
Like a lot of places in the UK, Gosport – where I live – has a pre-historic stone monument. These are often known as a Henge. Not all are earth and stone – some use wood. Often there is little left standing. In our case it’s just a single stone on an earth mound.
Gosport Henge.
Well OK. It’s a caped land fill site, about 20 years old. Some kind person put the stone block on top – just because. It’s now part of what is know as Alver Valley country park.
