I picked up a decent panorama creation tool... here is an earlier supercell shot in all its glory...

This was stitched from 3 photos.

weather related - sort of...



here is a postcard from Canberra...

Took the kids to the National botanic gardens - here are a couple of shots from the man made gardens... http://ih0.redbubble.net/image.11442927.4833/flat,550x550,075,f.jpg http://ih3.redbubble.net/image.11442923.4831/flat,550x550,075,f.jpg http://ih2.redbubble.net/image.11519811.2594/flat,550x550,07...

missed the opportunity to chase this one, but it was building well last week...

couple of shots from tonight's storm, out the back of home under the pergola. If there wasn't an antenna in the neighbor's yard, it would have been perfect. http://ih0.redbubble.net/image.11472556.0029/flat,550x550,075,f.jpg http://ih2.redbubble.net/image.11472571.0034/flat,550x550,075,f.jpg http://...

Last Night, (Friday), Canberra was hit by a very large cell, which I decided to chase out to see what I could get. There were moments of beautiful clarity on the back roads around gundaroo and gunning, but there was no-where safe to pull over and set up. I continued following, watching the great bra...

here is on that I forgot to put up - got no lightning out of it but it was a massive rolling structure in the heart of a storm...

I'm still using the D3000. It's a wonderful little camera. Don't think I'll be upgrading anytime soon ( ... needs job first :P ). I do use the 18-55mm kit lens occasionally, but I recently bought a Tamron 18-200mm lens which does the job. The extra focal length is quite handy, although there is a s...

nice lightning shots. really like that you got the close up looping of raw electricity.

I abandoned the gimp for iwatermark pro - makes it faster to export.

are you still using the D3000? larger lenses yet?

and here is the supercell that we missed out on: http://ih3.redbubble.net/image.11450596.1384/flat,550x550,075,f.jpg the "small hills" are Mount Ainslie & Mount Majura. from Mount Ainslie, the cell was even bigger than I thought: http://ih3.redbubble.net/image.11450608.1393/flat,550x55...

spoilt for choice last night. there were two fronts passing canberra - one supercell heading past captains flat and one passing gungahlin, in the northern suburbs. I spent some time trying to get some shots of the captains flat cell, before turning my attention to the other cell - the lightning was ...

Tonight, there were two fronts coming in from the north - one tracking past queanbeyan and one near gungahlin. Here are the shots I got: Queanbeyan: http://ih2.redbubble.net/image.11442716.4612/flat,550x550,075,f.jpg http://ih0.redbubble.net/image.11442719.4660/flat,550x550,075,f.jpg and Gungahlin: ...

I bought a run out model Nikon D3000, with the VR 55mm lens, for my 40th. followed up with a vanguard tripod, Lowepro sling case, spare battery and a VR 300mm lens in the space of a couple of months.Already had the inverter from Dick smith, so one battery is charging while I am driving around... All...

Last night, while setting my camera up for D-Lighting (Nikon D3000) I got a couple of surprise photos.There was this one: http://ih1.redbubble.net/image.11427416.1877/flat,550x550,075,f.jpg this one - the cloud is low enough to reflect the top of the tower: http://ih2.redbubble.net/image.11427423.18...

here is the storm slipping past canberra quietly

hey crikey. that is about right. the temp tonight on my temp gauge is showing 12 degrees. I have had to resort to winter clothing... I stood on top of mt ainslie tonight and watched the majority of the storm track straight past Canberra in a line over belconnen. The only decent lightning was as I wa...

storm appears to have arrived early, so i will be at my desk instead of taking photos in the storm. Hoping that we have another front coming in later this afternoon / evening.

thanks for the welcome. it seems that most of the people here have moved on, I see a few of them over at WZ, but the conversation seems to be far too technical for new weather nuts. Forecast for tonight is storms - I am hoping that the low cloud goes away so that it is a clear shot across canberra, ...

these photos were taken on a cloudy day - the beams of light were all over the place, shooting through the gaps in the clouds. The sunset got a laser effect as it struggled to shine through. http://ih3.redbubble.net/image.11380398.1624/flat,550x550,075,f.jpg http://ih1.redbubble.net/image.11380380.1...
