* ALL CONTRIBUTING PHOTOS ARE SUBJECT TO RELEVANT COPYRIGHT LAWS PEOPLE!
Send me your favorite storm photo (or two) to me via my email address on the home page down the bottom OR through the website contact form page and make the photo file at least 800 x 600 pixels in a compressed version along with your name and some details of where the photo was taken. Make sure you add your watermark to the photo, If you have none then I'll credit you anyway. Sending the photos in a compressed version will use up less website space and make it easier for people to view them. If you send them as thumbnail compressed version even better, so long as they can be 'enlarged' when viewing ( I think that's my end of the business...)
Links to your website will only be shown if you do the same for me on your website which must be verified by me visiting it. I think that's fair! Space restrictions may apply due to demand (I hope!)

Here's two photos from Kenny A and Mik L from Canada. Very long CG that is nice and clean. Wonderful shot of a supercell, note the cloud base also. Kenny' sites are at http://edmontonweatherservice.co.nr.or/ or http://ews.pcriot.com/


Three wonderful photos below of a supercell on the east coast of Australia - big anvil and structure, also a photo of great mammatus cloud. Karina lives on the mid/western side of the Gold Coast.



Insane lightning photos sent by Shaun Galman from Lightning Ridge NSW - http://ridgelightning.com. Massively strong strikes and no shortage of vantage points!



Here's some excellent photos from storm chasers Darinka Braidotti and her husband from Dapto in New South Wales, Australia.
Great lighting shots - even daytime shots are hard enough to capture but Darinka has the knack for photographing them. Classic CGs and text book streamer lightning in the second last shot. Her photos are copyrighted also, so email me if you want permission to use them and I will contact her.






Here's a few shots of mine as a storm approached Darwin City last year 2007. Note the low cloud base and shelf cloud appearing in the front and the rain/gust front coming!

Donated shot by someone who wants to remain annonymous from the Northern Territory photographed this waterspout at Dundee Beach on a fishing charter boat on 24 December 2007. I was out the same day hunting water spouts as the wind shear that day was insane and you'd think one would be around...it was but not in Darwin, more about 50km or so to the west! Fantastic shot of something that is rarely seen at full length in Darwin.

Jacci-Rose Ingham who lives in Darwin sent me this brilliant photo of a shelf cloud associated with an afternoon thunderstorm as it passed over Darwin harbour. Just beautiful storm structure as it highlights the layering and wedge formation on the gust front.

Marcus Diaz. photographed this supercell thunderstorm taken on April 20, 2007 in Hereford, Texas. The storm itself produced
golf ball sized hail in Dawn, TX.. This is a fantastic image that shows supercell qualities - structure, size, updraught power and the colours are great.
