@silverhorn @ethelperry @northy @swillinbillyflynn @blueberry1222 @francoise @sstcowan @beluga @mastermek @m2016 @bf2016 apparently there were something like 1000 flashes, dont know who counted them!, but at this point they were something like every 20 seconds, no thunder though so they must have been far away in the mountains,.

[Lesley Chisholm]

Cool capture. I caught some purple lightening once too. It was quite the surprise (or perhaps just my settings?!).

@kiwichick i was told that the colour depends on the chemical composition of the air, in this case sodium from the seaspray, hope you might have a chance to capture some lightning, i just pit my camera on multiburst as the lightning was really frequent.

We had our first big thunder storm last night. Huge crashes all around us, but not so frequent. There is more in the forcast as it's "that time of year" so maybe I should give it a go again. It was years since I tried.
