This lightning strike was taken four days ago from our front balcony in Southport, Queensland, Australia. I have done one or two posts with fake lightning added with photoshop. This is the first time I have photographed lightning for real. The thunderstorms here on the Gold Coast often start in the afternoon heat. Even with the clouds there is just too much light in the sky to do the type of long exposure you need to have a chance of getting a hit. This was a 30 second exposure taken in the evening at 8:36pm
