Nothing Shocking by Eric Abernethy
I am addicted to lightning. Its been one long photo shoot since 1996 when I started attempting to capture lightning photographs in unique surroundings. There is something spiritual about mother nature and lightning happens so fast and then its gone. Like a snow flake no bolt is the same and I feel honored to capture and witness any flash from the ground and the skies above. I hope a few Bubblers will catch the vibe.

Raging! by Andrew Murrell
This was Somersby Falls like I had never seen it before. The June storm from 2007 which caused havoc and mayhem across the Hunter and Central Coast dumped unbelievable amounts of water. This image of Somersby falls was taken about 40 minutes after sunrise on the Saturday Morning so it will be among the first images to catch this scene of the falls raging after the storm. The noise of the falls was almost deafening and the spray had me damp before I got to the base of the falls. The water was up and over my shoes while taking this image. It is presented now as I thought that i had lost this image along with many others after a harddrive failure. / Image taken with a Nikon D70 and the 18-70mm lens. The apeture was full open at f3.5 to get a fast exposure time to freeze the water action. Featured in In the Eyes of Danger / Featured in Central Coast and Hunter

Driving into the Wildfire by PhysioDave
This photo was taken by me without a tripod whilst fighting the “Great Divide – Northern Complex” fires on the night of December 6th, 2006. Task: We were sent in as a group of 15 fire tankers to ensure the fire did not break out of control lines that had been put in place 2 hours before the start of our shift. Method: We had a very experienced leader who advised us to make sure the fire had burnt to the containment lines by sunrise…....this involved driving through the fire front to make sure it didn’t cross the road…... Outcome: After 14 hours on the fire ground, we successfully achieved the goal. All of us were absolutely exhausted but exuberant in knowing that the fire did not cross the road…...which took 45 minutes to drive from one end to the other at the start of the night.

David and Goliath by PhysioDave
Black Saturday – Stanley 8/02/2009 (Sunday night) This photo was one of my most memorable shots during the campaign to fight the Black Saturday fires which ravaged Victoria on Saturday 7th February, 2009. 173 people died including one town (Marysville) that was wiped entirely from the earth. Thousands of homes were destroyed in a number of different fires across the state, but the stories of survival make it all worthwhile going in to tackle these fires head strong. This photo was taken whilst we were undertaking asset protection (protecting a house) in Stanley from the approaching fire. It shows how a fire that was relatively sedentary for the best part of 5 hours suddenly raced up a tree and started showering embers on the house to the left. Two fire fighters are caught unawares and are looking at the emerging threat with hoses ready to go. We did mange to save this house, although many other structures weren’t so lucky.

Three Pronged Attack by Wayne England
Another in the series of photos I took of lightning moving over Spencer Gulf towards Port Germain, South Australia, on Saturday night (24th/10/09) from Hancocks Lookout near Wilmington. It was a spectacular light show with many bolts hitting the hills and sea which went on for a few hours. These are by far the best lightning shots I’ve taken!

About This Group
danger (dnjr)n.
1. Exposure or vulnerability to harm or risk.
2. A source or an instance of risk or peril.
If you’re standing eye to eye with a fierce creature, at the mouth of a volcano that’s erupting, wading through crocodile infested waters, on a safari with lions jumping at your Jeep, in the eye of a cyclone… These are some of the instances where you’re photography skills set you apart from the rest.
While you take care not to get hurt, the danger of getting that perfect shot is imminent.
Your photo must be real – no zoos, no staged action shots, the danger must be obvious and real.
Good luck and happy shooting :) (be careful out there)
