Whilst in Cornwall this summer I was lucky enough to witness a pretty fantastic thunder storm, the lightning was going all around, once or twice a minute – it was hard NOT to catch a fantastic shot
lightning hitting the sea in Crantock Bay
I set my tripod up on a caravan porch facing out across the bay and used my trusty old brolly to shelter me from the elements
another epic strike
It was a touch hairy at times, it did occur to me that standing in a wet field with an umbrella would make a pretty good conductor for a lightning strike
The angry sky was lit up by lightning and you can see the rain pouring out over the headland
This 25 second exposure shows how many lightning strikes there were – these are NOT composite images!
