Quite like them...maybe you could crop to make lightning bigger in the frame.. how long were the exposures?

1- 8 Seconds @ F3.2 ISO 320
2- 10 Seconds @ F5 ISO 320
3- 10 Seconds @ F5 ISO 320

Cropping isn't really an option untill i get myself some decent noise removal software as they are quite noisy at a high crop (acceptable but noisy )

Thanks for the comments.

Great shots. I especially like the first one with the mine in the foreground. I reckon extra detail in the image such as buildings and in this case, a mine, add extra interest and perspective to lightning shots. Well done!!!

Great work for a hard to capture subject and I like the extra foreground interest with the mine.

Awesome captures and agree with others comments on the 1st shot, the mine really adds to the interest.........nice work.

Great work. Takes me back twenty years when I attempted similar shots when I lived at the Hill. Where did you shoot from?
