I didn't realise if I wasn't going to Australia or the US it was considered 'not getting out' lol

Beautiful photos.....and must have taken a lot of patience. Lightning doesn't usually last very long, not around here. You might not be giving him enough credit....I've tried to catch it, and it's not easy. Is he thinking about getting into photography as a livelihood? Might not be a bad idea. Get him a good digital camera, if he doesn't have one already....see where it leads to. Might be a good investment

Echo Murph's comment on the digital camera. Can't beat 'em with a stick.
Nice pics, lightning can be tough to get clearly.

Might be a good investment There's a trick to it: lightning acts like a flash unit, it will take its own picture. You just mount your camera and take a series of time exposures. Set the duration based on the approximate apparent strike rate (and adjust aperture to your preference).

Actually, you can. Find a stick. Find a digital camera. Let the beatings commence. The camera cannot stop you. Personally, what irritates me about digital cameras is the DELAY. Press button...count to some random double-digit number...picture is taken! Meanwhile whatever you were trying to capture is gone or shifted position. My cellphone and every digital camera from Olympus, Kodak, Sony, and others that I've ever owned all share that trait. The Jedi Master

The Jedi Master You haffta have a good one to get around that. I got an Olympus Pen 4/3 style camera. It uses a mechanical shutter of some sort, so when you poosh the button, the picture is taken. Detachable lenses, takes great photos, almost as well as a decent DSLR, but is easier to carry around.

Yeah, he needs a nice digital Nikon. You can pick them up for MUCH cheaper than they were when they first came out. One can do lots more with a few lenses....like a wide angle or nice telephoto. I 'imagine' the digital ones are very detailed.....I've not had the opportunity. Sometimes a little 'nudge', might take someone on a long ride.........
