Taken with my own fair hand during last night's storm over Ashford:

OK, Lets get one thing straight off the bat here -
But ho-hum I'm dead chuffed!

OK, Lets get one thing straight off the bat here -
- My first attempt
- I'm no David Bailey
- I'm using a camera that's probably not up to the job - Canon A60
- By the time I had worked out how to take lightning shots and then worked out how to setup my camera, the storm was pretty much over
- These four represent about 10% of the total pictures taken
But ho-hum I'm dead chuffed!
