Perth Lightning Storm – 12th December

by | Dec 13, 2011 | 9 comments

We had another epic storm tonight, lightning and thunder non-stop! I wasn’t going to head out because I have a lot of work to catch up on.. but then just couldn’t help myself.. definitely worth the 45 minutes I took..

This is a 71 second exposure, 1 continuous shot, no layering or anything tricky like that. Taken at North Beach, Perth, Western Australia:

Canon EOS 5DmkII
Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8L
71 seconds, ISO640, f8, no filters.

    Nice image Paul, I thought about going out. Decided bed was the better option!!

    Haha, I wonder how many fish get fried when lighting hits the ocean like that!! :-)
