Yep that's all I got, 99.9% of the time the storms blow over or go around us, Even if there was a good lighting show, I wouldn't be able 2 catch it on camera anyway!

takin from encounter bay south australia

Theyre gold is there a setting on ya camera that takes pics when the lightning flashes or do you just have reflexes like a steel trap

got a setting where I can leave the shutter/lens open for X amount of time, and basically it just captures any light that happens in that time frame, nifty little trick

Just about 2 get hammered :)
