They're both superb

Steve

Awesome! :shocked:

I have tried before with not much luck, Well done !!!

I bet that was a nice long exposure and a tripod, eh? Great shots.

Stunning.

Anyone else find it fascinating the route that the lightning takes?

Nice pics. What were the settings, if you dont mind me asking?

Wow! They are wicked!!

WOW amazing stuff

Fantastic!!!

I've been trotting down to the beach most evenings this week in the hope of catching some decent bolts of lightning.

This is always a good place to check before going out to watch lightning or to play golf

Very dangerous playing golf when it's lightening :eek:

And, I believe I have that website tucked away in my favourites if it's data from the Newport weather station

Same here

Tis a very good site for live weather reports.

Newport isn't a million miles away from me either (more like 50).

It's about 5 miles away from me :P

Ah, i'm a bit further along the coast than you. The beach is a great place to watch thunderstorms rolling up the English channel as long as they don't get too close though.
