Aliesha Dickson, First Strikes (October theme: Weather)

I was lucky enough to have captured this cell not long after it had passed over the Gold Coast Hinterland. It was taken on a day where a number of very active storms were hitting the area so I couldn't pass the chance to get out amongst it. This photo is in fact my first ever lightning capture and it was an absolute thrill to achieve this shot.
