That looks like an awesome spot. Down in melbourne we've had a very dry winter, so a day like that wouldn't have been so unusual. That shot reminds me a lot of Lakes Entrance in Victoria, although I'm pretty sure that's not it... Where was it taken?
Nope, not Vic. Its Port Stephens in NSW. Given the weather today... :( its so cold and almost summer.. doesnt quite add up really =p
No.. I am not talented or lucky enough to photograph lightning! I filmed a storm out in the country one night in January this year and later extracted the frames with Video2Photo. There were way too many to chose from, but i think this ones pretty cool anyway =p

Damn straight, that's awesome. I tried a few nights ago when there was a storm on to catch a flash, and after standing out in the rain for ages, I got one out of focus bolt... It'd still be cool to get a good one. Like this.
Port Stephens is awesome, I went up there for a holiday a while back. Good times.
@one_reflection: good job on capturing that, lightning is no easy subject to get a shot of.
Thanks Akasha... but like i said up there i filmed it and then extracted the frames... si i cant take credit for having that much skill and luck :p Cheers anyway.
i know absolutely nothing about photography, but i have really enjoyed just starting to take some shots. i really like it. I plan on taking a course next semester if my schedule permits.

That is fucking awesome. I love how nature often displays how it is powerful, yet beaurtiful. I made this one my background. Thanks, hehe.

I'm partial to the picture of your Basset, my first dog happened to be one so naturally i harbor an affinity for them, despite there unparalleled ability to be stubborn. I liked all the shots though.

Hopefully I havent already posted this one. Looking through my pictures folder..
this is probably one of the first ones i took when i started taking 'pretty photos' rather than just you average "oh look theres some people standing together..!" (those are good too however) :p
Date = June 2006
Location = Canberra, Australia
Short description = A tree
EXIF
Camera body make/model = Nikon D200
Lens model = Nikkor 18-70mm AF-S G ED
ISO = 100
Shutter speed = don't remember
Aperture = don't remember
Nice work mate, Im looking to upgrade to the D200 next year sometime, although im finding no limitations with the D70, Nikon really make awesome camera's. They seem to put more effort into build quality and ergonomics than the other brands, especially with their entry level gear. To me that shows theyre thinking more about the consumer satisfaction than a lot of other company's.
