Summer thunderstorm photo competition

Unread post by jamie »

We did this a while back and i thought it would be good to do it again

Attach your best summer thunderstorm picture and we can have a vote at the end of the summer. No prizes, just bragging rights :wave: \:D/

There hasn't been much to take photos of this summer so far here so I'm hoping ill have something other than a pathetic Cu to submit.

Aucklands thunderstorm season is May to September. But there is an outside chance we could see a cb here before the end of summer! Will keep the camera handy just in case.

OK,not quite quick enough to get one of a lightning bolt itself but this shot was one that i thought was rather a dramatic storm

As I can't photograph thunderstorms, well lightning shots within them, but, as being president and founder of the NZ Thunderstorm Society, maybe I could be one of the judges with backup comfirmation from Bob Crowder.
Bob has an amazing collection of weather related photos over the years so he should be a good judge of such.
