Description Taken out on the Bald Hill opal field, Lightning Ridge N.S.W. 22.12.12 at 8:54pm EDST.

These storms were very cooperative last night and were sitting about twenty kilometres to the South East of town.Β To have three very active cells close together was so great, along with the fact they they didn't move due to a lack of steering winds was a huge plus -particularly with this type of pulse storm setup.
There were two other active updraft towers either side here, though not as photogenic as this central cell.

Totally cool capture, Shaun! Great bolt and a bit of it showing in the cloud tops. Nice work!

Thanks kindly John!

It was strange to see so many bolts arcing out away from the main updraft area. It has been a pretty common occurrence all this season. It got a little dangerous at times due to that happening. All part of the job though, and hey, it does make for nice photos

Hope all has been going great!

Thanks so much for the kind words

Nature is really throwing down the good currently! We have storms forecast for the next several days so I may be posting something across the Christmas break.

"Well, this photo here shows ye got a good shot. I can see that bolt from the very top, through that small hole near the center, and down to the bottom. Fantastic."
