Taken out on the Newtown opal fields, Lightning Ridge N.S.W. on the 10.12.12 at 1:04am EDST.

Gotta love nature sometimes. Even at it's terrifying worst it can be so wondrous. When I'm out there in the dark (usually by myself) it's hard to concentrate on the displays in front of me. I can only see bright flashes in my peripheral vision at times like this while keeping an eye on the the camera making sure it's under control. :)

I've been in highly active storms many times over the years but this one is easily miles ahead and will definitely take some beating.

EXIF:
Canon 5D MkIII
30seconds

Contrary to the popularly held belief that people under 30 are immortal, (which is usually a mistaken belief only held by those under 30) you are so not indestructible. Try standing far enough away that the lightning isn't going to fry your ... expensive new camera :)

Rest assured I know what I'm doing... well, as far as keeping the camera safe anyway ;)

Does it make a difference that I'm well over 30? Normally I have the truck to hide in at these times, but as I was only a few hundred metres from home I was sure I wouldn't need it. Boy, that was wrong! Hindsight is twenty twenty as they say.

My nine lives are up to about fifteen now :D
