First proper stormchase of the season, very local. A small area of developing storms came to the region overnight. New cells ware small but gave lots of CG, but always for a brief period. The best one we were near but we couldn't find a good spot in the vicinity with a clear view. That way we missed alot of lightning strikes. Still a few nice captures thoug. Some below are cropped, but the big double CG is full on 21mp!

Close CG, but only the return stroke, filling the full 21mp frame

Tripel CG, seen from Dottignies. Composition was way out to the right, so I made it a square crop. Not that it helps alot :s
