Now we dont get particularly violent storms in the UK very often, but with the breakdown of heat recently, we have been treated to some spectacular shows, so I figured I would try and capture something on camera.
This image as had some raindrops cloned out of it, and sharpened, but thats it. F8 and an exposure time of 8 Seconds: ![]() |

The shot is slightly cropped from the right, I took a total of around 90 shots and only had 3 reasonable ones, so its all down to luck if you are pointed in the right direction with the camera running.
Once it has taken the 8 second exposure, it takes another 8 seconds to write it to the SD card, so its a fairly hit or miss afair. As the storm approached I decided to get back in the car for protection and this one hit overhead and to the rear of the car (probably about 500 metres away): ![]() Many thanks for the comments! |

Wow, those are really nice shots. That last one is particularly impressive. Made me think of the late-afternoon thunderstorms in Florida.
Great job capturing those. |
