As requested by Merv French here’s one of his favorites from my Kimberley book. Thanks for the comments mate!
My friend Radek Dolecki and I were up in the Kimberley during the Wet a couple of years ago and got onto some really cool thunderstorms. Here’s one of them!

I haven’t seen the whole book yet but I would venture a guess that this would end up my favourite as well. Stunning!!!! I love it, just my sorta thing. Red outback dirt road to infinity, great big dramatic clouds – with a bolt of lightning. Just amazing!
PS. I reckon the keyboard left out a t in the title in the image 🙂
Thanks Flemming. I reckon you’d have lots of favorites. I too love wide open landscapes with dirt roads. And of course also look for great cloud formations. Thanks too for the spell check! Cheers mate
Dave
Great shot mate I love it , that’s my kinda country as well.
I’ve just gotta get up there in the wet season.
How many attempts did you have to get this shot with the lightning Dave ?
I actually got about 20 frames with lightning strikes in them. The lightning was so frequent there was a strike every couple of seconds or so!
Cheers mate
Dave
Very nice shot, i saw one of your books the other day…. nice work!!!
Thanks Clint!
Well now I am really hanging out for the book Dave, Great stuff.
By the way my bags are packed.
Cheers Pete.
As I’ve said before , you’re not going without me !!
Hey Merv your part of the world gets some pretty cool storms in summer – I’ll let you know when I’m out in the wheatbelt photographing them! Cheers mate.
Yeah Dave that would be good I’m always on the lookout for a good storm .
Did you get down to the bird on the weekend?
You should get the book any day now Peter! I only wished my bags were packed too mate. Cheers
Dave
Unfortunately I didn’t make it down there Merv. It might have to wait until I’m back from Carnarvon.
Great shot!
Cheers Graham.
cracker of a shot Dave, as per usual.
I jag one every now and then Andrew!
Brilliant shot Dave, no wonder why it is in the book.
Cheers,
Tom
Thanks Tom. There’s another 100 in there like that as well! Cheers
Love this Shot David ,
Would be one of my favourite I have seen of yours
Colors look great and nice capture of the lighting strike
Fantastic image Dave ! I was wondering if Radek was one of your mates that you had referred to in a comment on my blog – he has some EXTREMELY spectacular shots !
top work !
cheers,
tone 🙂
Hi Tony Do you know Radek do you? You’re right he has some great thunderbolts!
Cheers
hi Dave – no I don’t.. I just recall him from a weather forum many years ago.. He had a sight called ‘Electric skies’ for memory… It covered many regions of WA and was most impressive !
cheers,
Yep that’s the one Tony.
Dave this is awesome
Cheers Stakky
I can see why Merv liked this so much, it’s Australia on postcard A+ with the lightening strike and all, just wonderful, purple sky’s a winner:)
Thanks Matt. It’s great when all the elements come together!
Cheers
Dave
