Beautiful pics Big V.

Always beautiful pics V.
Nice subject Merc. I adore the critters, but happily live in a country where they will never be a threat to me and mine.

The Oncoming Storm (a name for The Doctor) but literal in this case.
We've had a sunshine and showers day.
This was the estate about 3 minutes before it started raining.
Hence the poor stitch together - it got too dark to match up the pictures accurately. Oh and I'm not all that good at it anyway

Thank you Sundae, so kind.

I love your picture too. From what direction is the storm approaching?

Was thinking the same thing after watching his snake skinning pics (I'd *LOVE* to make something from that skin). But I was also wondering how big/many it was to make mercy's matching shirt?!

Merc, you guys down in GeeAy oughta teach the 'gators to eat the snakes!!

TheMercenary · 06-18-2011, 08:28 PM

Wish I could but so few of the bad ones ever venture into the water. Must be a mutual respect thing.

Guess that is why they are not afraid of me.

From Bicester I think...

It's coming towards me. I suppose it's not technically a storm, as there was no thunder or lightning, it was just a very heavy downpour. It went from spitting gently to monsoon in under a minute, and my umbrella was practically useless. I came home with my trousers soaked through, and my arms running with rainwater.

It was warm though, and very refreshing. Once I got out of my wet shoes.
I hate wet shoes.

And then the sun was out and we had blue skies for another hour.
Probably good for the plants.

This is from a few weeks ago. Finally captured streak lightning during a storm. Just pure luck using a 5 second shutter. I'd love to get some more.

Nice!

Lola Bunny · 06-22-2011, 10:59 AM

Super cool.

classicman · 06-22-2011, 01:03 PM

Excellent! Good on you!

glatt · 06-22-2011, 01:06 PM

Yeah, it's one thing to capture lightning. Not easy. It's another to get a cool looking picture as a result. You've done both here.

TheMercenary · 06-22-2011, 07:11 PM

dmg, that is great! one the best on her in a long time. Well done.

anonymoo · 06-22-2011, 07:41 PM

I never can catch the lightning on my camera. Hubby suggested I stand by the clothes line pole, but I don't see how that can work
