Artist's Comments

To date, and in my opinion, this is the best photograph of lightning that I have taken. w00t!


Several highly active and mostly dry electrical storms passed close to Townsville on the evening of February 8 (2008). These storms were moving in sporadic directions, however mostly east(ish), and lightning was jumping from one thunderhead to another every 5 to 10 seconds for several hours.

This photograph is Townsville and it's northern surroundings, as seen from the top of Castle Hill. This overlooks Rowes Bay and Pallarenda.


Note: Full-view size is about 2MB at 2250x1500 pixels and may take some time to load, but the high detail is worth the wait!

Full-view is highly recommended for this photograph!

Yeah, it was super big to maintain some clarity in the lightning. As the size is reduced, fingers disappear because the pixels get blended into the colour of the sky.
I'll submit a smaller one around 1280x960 or whatever so people can take the whole image in.

It seems that you caught that moment when everything seems to stop. We see the lightning and count the seconds till we hear it's roar. :)

I can be your hopeful lullaby . . and you can be my perfect storm . .
