We rarely get thunderstorms here but when I noticed clouds moving in from the northeast with more clouds moving in from the southwest at the same time, I knew we were in for a bit of a show.
I stood out at the footpath watching the fireworks and eventually thought I should try to take a few pics... http://www.multi.net.nz/thunderstorm/ K10D, 16-45mm (at 16mm). I didn't get very long before my battery started to run low but I'd had enough by then and the storm was heading north. I ended up shooting at f/22 for 15 seconds. The wait during the dark-frame subtraction was agonising, especially the times when I just missed spectacular flashes. It would have been spectacular to view from the hills.
