Hi,

Today 20-08-09 some heavy thunderstorms on her way.

I decided to take the bike and ride to Kwadijk in the neighbourhood of Purmerend to watch the big thunderstorm wich was above the Ijselmeer/Markermeer.

And verry lucky to have 3 photo's with lightning on it.
( i make around 350 photo's in 30 minutes with my cam.)

Below you can find the results.

1: 19:48lt direction Volendam/Edam


2: 20:09lt direction Monnickendam/Katwoude


3: 20:16lt from cloud to cloud


This was the best i could make of it.
I hope you enjoy it.
Grt,
Michel

Made at 21:38 hours with the camera on a tripod; 100iso, F6.3 and 30 seconds exposure. (18mm zoom).

The sun always shines behind the clouds.......even after a KNMI Weather Alert !

This photo was taken from my rooftop at sunset.

We managed to reach Eindhoven Airport just before the storm hit us.

Hi...

Was this taken on 21 July?? And were you inside the VLM Fokker 50?

No... it was made some time ago on board of a little two-seater, doing some sightseeing around Tilburg, when we met this storm. The picture was taken somehwere between Moergestel and Oirschot, camera pointed to the rear of the plane.
Take-off was already tricky because we had the max. allowed cross-wind. We just managed to get back before the storm hit us.
A nice experience though...
