Mr Man vs Mrs Nature by Jeremy Somers
This was shot on a canon 300D, on a tripod with a 30 second exposure. / I shot it during a summer storm in Sydney from my grandmother’s apartment building. The weather that night was magnificent, so much thunder and lightning and rain. Luckily i was just far enough away from the storm that there was only a light drizzle. / The show mother nature put on was spectacular and i stood out there for almost 4 hours with my shutter open the whole time. / I ended up taking about 700 shots, with about 80 of them capturing the lightning. You’d be surprised at how many time lightning strikes in between shots. A lot! / The shots from that night are a wonderful reminder of how powerful mother nature can be, especially against the man-made cityscape.

Dangerous Storm Approaches, Dublin South Australia by Greg Sorenson
This storm occurred 21/12/06 approx 60km north of Adelaide tracking SE from the northern gulf region, and i intercepted near a town called Dublin, just along the Port Wakefield Hwy. The Bureau of Meteorology labelled this dangerous storm and developed into a defined squall line. The image is comprised of 9 exposures stitched together, and was taken briefly before i was pelted with mud, wheat husks and probably sheep poo. I witnessed imbedded gustnadoes on the leading edge, severe wind gusts i would estimate over 120km/h, 2cm hail and lightning every second. The storm weakened as it progressed to the northern suburbs as i pushed on further north, however the second line wasn’t as fruitful.

Detonating Wave by Geoff Coleman - Landscapes
This was my first RedBubble post and one of my personal faves. / I shot this at Jervis Bay, the day after a cyclone up in Queensland created some amazing sea swell even this far down the coast. The cliffs they were breaking against are 100m high and these were going halfway up so were pretty spectacular I can tell you. The day before they were going all the way up the cliffs and then some but I didn’t realise I had the camera on autofocus and they all came out blurry in the low light – very, very frustrating as I’ve never seen waves like them. Taken with a Canon 30D

LP (Low Precipitation) SuperCell by Jeremy Jones
This was shot on US 54 5 miles South of Thomas, Oklahoma. You are looking at a Rotating Supercell. You can also clearly see the rain free base, with the striations in the Midlevels, and the MASSIVE ANVIL!! It never did drop a tube, but it provide for a nice end to a 9 hour chase day!!

Murphy's Law by drec
Lightning was striking middle and to the right of this frame and not much was landing over the Hi-Rises of Surfers Paradise. I made sure I had Q1 just inside the frame and it managed to get hit, I caught half of the bolt but missed the half that went left. / This spot has potential, just need the storms to not drift so far south. / Taken @ The Southport Pier

Junee Storm by Steve Sass
Its funny how you can set up and try to take a great photo after considering all the angles, settings, etc. This was with a point and shoot fuji A800 driving at 100kms/h between Junee and Gundagai in December 2008, and I thought it didnt turn out too bad?

I was able to capture this bolt striking Black Mountain before heading for cover. Captured in Cave Creek, Arizona. Canon 20D w/ 28-135 IS USM @28mm. / Thanks for looking.

electric feel by Tony Middleton
A very impressive line of storms had edged it’s way across the south of the state through the very late afternoon and evening, I had my doubts whether it would make it at strength to my place so I decided to come to the party and meet it at the western end of Phillip Island with the hope that if it did persist I could ‘follow’ (but be in front – a bit of confusing term for those that don’t ‘chase’ perhaps) back towards home for more shots. This line of storms was extremely lightning active, but being a line of about 100km’s in length it made it damn hard to point the camera in the right spot at the right time ! I missed so many bolts it is ridiculous and I am definitely getting one of those new 90mb/s sandisk cards shortly as the image writing time is always something that annoys me with DSLR work. It seriously cost me dozens of potential killer shots this particular night ! The bolts were plentiful and one actually started a bushfire on the eastern side of the mornington peninsula ! This created a glow in that part of the sky adding to the atmosphere. view this image large bubblesite / photography blog / portfolio Canon 5DmkII / ©T.Middleton2009 —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-——

SPRING LIGHTNING OVER PORT PHILLIP by Yanni
It’s been a long time between drinks for good storms over Port Phillip Bay. It was like a small camera club up there on Arthur’s Seat on Friday 30th October 2009. Rob Mullner was there capturing his amazing images. There was even a couple learning how to use a digital slr and they were getting good shots too.
