Why cant I ever get a shot like that when I'm sitting in my little back garden in Carlow with my Kodak camera watching an approaching thunder storm??!



Where am I going wrong?

Seriously though, some amazing shots there!! Some of them storms look damn scary!!

hehe i think that the fact that your backyard is located in Co. Carlow, and not some nice hot state in the midwest USA could be the problem
