  1. Not over just yet either! I got some great photos on the iPhone courtesy of that brilliant shelf cloud. Looked like an alien invasion, almost!

    It was unbelievable, I saw a bolt of lightning bead out as well. Some really close strikes, the ones that blind you. Its moved north of me but I can still hear it booming away in the distance. âš¡âš¡âš¡âš¡âš¡

  2. So For CG lightning I usually stick mine on 15 or 20 second exposure, whack the f stop up as high as it goes.... I manual focus on a distant object like a pylon, tree, or something, and then just keep clicking until it delivers!

    Is f stop the aperture? I just got a canon 600d off of my sister and I am having fun playing around in manual mode.

  3. Been out in the garden today, what a brilliant year for insects here is a quick run down of the ones ive seen in my garden alone in the last few weeks.

    One of these ichneumon wasps (pure black though) was tapping my fence for larvae.

    We have loads of these Summer Chafer flying round the cherry tree:

    We have red and blue damselfly around our pond (one even landed on me!) stunning insects:

    I have also seen some common darters about too.

    I have seen a wasp that looks a lot like this Cerceris, not sure if it was but it looked exactly like this:

    I have also seen a wood boring bee:

    Pretty decent! I might go hunting under some rocks tomorrow to see if I can find a few centipedes etc.

    None of the pictures are mine btw I currently do not have a decent camera.

    Have a great weekend everyone!

  4. That's me done for the night I'm off to bed, got my fix of night time lightning and some nice thunder. It's still flashing and rumbling well in the distance, so good luck to those south of here who haven't seen anything yet,,,  :D 

    looks like im on the chopping block next, can see lightning quite brightly to my NNW, no thunder yet,

    Lightning radars have picked up one or two strikers near here, but I haven't heard it seen anything haha!

    look west mate.

  5. I'm actually gutted now that all we have had after two significant Spanish plume risk days (both of which were focused initially on our area) was three rumbles and seen no actual lightning and now getting excited about even getting one flash.It's actually depressing how (sorry to swear but strength of feeling) SH## out weather is. These German and Benelux storms blow anything we're ever gonna get out of the water. I'm seriously thinking about moving because the pointless and often overblown hype surrounding our British storm 'events' really gets to me these days. Can even get storms when I chase.What's the point. I might go fun something more likely to look forward to...(Have said piece... Off to sulk for next three weeks...)

    I agree, I would move to Germany/Benelux in a heartbeat if I was guaranteed to find a job when I got there. I might move there for the summer next year and get a summer job?
