There is not much rain at the moment here at Camp Hill. Man it better hurry up and go away cause i want to go sailing tomorrow. An all day sail looks very good for tomorrow
yeah the lightning is now getting worse. but it is also getting really humid. Just had to run outside and bring the wheelie bins in
You coming for a sail tomorrow Gestalt A few of us are heading to wello
It seems to have totally missed me!! Spitting rain... Thunder that sounds worse than it is... Nothing.

Jamesy
My flat was flooded at 1:30am. Took me and my girlfriend 3hrs. to get rid of the water :( I'm sooo tired today.
Near horizontal rain!... [}:)]
I'll be sitting out in the next storm; aiming to get a photo of lightening!
Dont ya just love these storms wind every arvo.
Nice sesh at wello today but where was every one.
I was just windsurfing with kiters.
Sailed till the lightning got too close
I was there today from like 10 in the morning till like 4 ish and was planing the full time on the 8.0 and hypersonic. It was awesome my hands are like mega blisters right now. Must have just left before you got there vando.A few windsurfers came and went at like two but it really kicked at like 3.
And by the way what happened to the sandbank this arvo at high tide it was non existent.
It's coming this way... again. I just got in the garage tonight and boooom!!! a wall of wind water and lightning.
If this is my last post, I regret nothing.
bugger trauma, i hope you are not traumatised. well that was my attempt at improving the situation. some light hearted humour.
aus301. that first photo is awesome. nice work,
lizy, you and me both, i been tryting to get a photo of lightning for ages. well ever since the guys started uploading there shots.
p.s good luck with the interview.
vando, windsurfing with kiter is your punishment. cause you get to spend morte time than anyone on the water. well everyone except peter nitchske.
upthere. will catch up next time. enjoy schoolies. be safe
Luke leave the ws gear at home. Mate and I both took our gear to schoolies and didn't even look at it for the week, it got in the way and you worry about it bein nicked.
Between the alcohol and chicks and parties and alcohol and... windsurfing can take a back seat for 1 week.
I was using iso400 last night in TV mode with it set to about 1/4 from memory (fast enough that I could hand hold the camera without IS).
Lots of my shots came out too dark, but when the sky was lit up well that speed ended up perfect. Any more exposure and I had shots that I considered over exposed...I really wanted the shots to show that it was actually night.
I took a few on bulb, for around 45 seconds, wide angle The sky is blue with stars, very pretty. Storm clouds, lit up, are blurred though. Would look awesome if storm not moving too fast. Perhaps 2 photos and some Photoshop... hmm.
Flash makes an interesting self portrait too with lightning in background. Flap arms while processing.
Hmm, seabreeze has added some noise, quite a bit actually.
I reckon, during peak of storm, you could cut back to 5 -10 second exposures. This storm just dropped off while I was shooting.
