    Thanks guys.
    Yeah I liked the top one as well, ended up getting it printed and framed and gave it to the missus as an anniversary present last year. She loved it!

    DB,

    Just a Nikon D80 with 18-200mm VR lens.

    Most of it is just good luck, right place right time. That shot was a 30sec exposure with a 1250 ISO.
    I was playing around with between 10 - 30 sec exposures and 1000 to 1600 ISO depending on the brightness and frequency of the lightning.

    I'm just lucky living in Broome during the wet season, there is heaps of thunder storms around.

    Do you need to have the ISO so high? I wondered where the noise in the shot had come from I had just assumed you were using an older camera and had slightly pixalated from you blowing up the picture or the use of jpegs losing the qulity through compression

    Fantastic shots though I have a D80 also

    I'm not sure about how the pro's get the shots, but I find that if I dont have the ISO up that high I cant seem to get the shots, I've got the lens wide and the apature full open, that seemed the only otherway to get the individual bolts of lightning.
    That said if anyone cans sugest better settings then I'm moe tha willing to try them out.
    I also turn the NR in the camera off (both high ISO and long exposure) and then try to fix it up using GIMP.
