My sister in law's partner is Aussie. They emailed me the impressive photos of the recent Sydney storm

They are impressive. I hope no-one planning on going to Sydney sees these. :D

They really are impressive!!!! :o

Thanks for the new desktop background. :)
Makes our storms last month seem pretty crappy really...

They are superb, I am just glad we are not off to Sydney for our next holiday..lol

Lighting up the Sky.

Those pics are like totally awesome dude!

draggletail, those are some superb images!

How did you shoot them? details please! Were you shooting long exposure shots during the storm, or randomly hitting the shutter (or using faster than light reflexes to operate the shutter?)

phantastic!

Sorry Phan, can't help with the techie details, the photos where emailed to me via a friend of my sister in laws partners brother (I think....)
Glad you like them - seems like there are going to be some new wallpaper additions in Forum land:)

They are outstanding. I'd get some kind of watermark or copyright on them before they get stolen and misused by all and sundry!

I wouldn't, I saw these posted on another forum a good few days before they were posted here, and that poster claimed they were from his friend in Sydney, so either a small world, or they really dont know the origins of the photos.

Thats strange!:o
The original source I can track the photos back to is 'Sue Phillips'
- a friend of my sister in laws partners brother:confused: As far as I know, she is the photographer:D
Where they the exact same photos, penguin?

Just a thought, penguin - if you are a member of the 'cliosport' forum, could you ask the person who posted the pics if the photographer is also called Sue Phillips - would be a mad coincidence:o
