Storm over Port Phillip Bay, Victoria(Australia)
Magnificent nature!
Laser bolt!
That was close! If they are bright bolts during the day, they are close!
Eye in the sky!
Big gusty front
Howdy folks! And welcome to my Website Hue Jangles Photography website. I never thought I would ever do anything with the thousands of photos I have stock piled. This is from years of adventure and storm hunting, or adventure based on storm hunting.
The inspiration for taking shots started when I first ever experienced a proper tropical Northern Territory(Australia) storm. Such beauty and atmosphere made me feel like I had just discovered a whole new world and of course I wanted to capture these moments.
So I went out and bought a cheap camera and started stalking storms and the beauty of the "Top End". I had no idea how to take photos of lightning and I had to study a bit. Youtube was my teacher and it taught me almost everything I know about Digital photography.
So here goes nothing, I hope you enjoy my work and you can own a bit of my collection if you would like. I will try to tell the story behind most of my shots. As the old adage goes "a picture tells a thousand words".
Many thousands of kilometres and untold fortunes have gone into getting these shots, I hope you enjoy them, and perhaps buy one for your wall.
For fun and adventure, it gets me away from the city and out into some pretty remote spots. I love being out on the open road win the country, some of the country I have travelled through is just remarkable. From Kakadu, Kimberlys and around inland Eastern Australia too the Southern Coast.
Also I love feeling the achievement of capturing that split second piece of time that will never be repeated, that being a lightning bolt. No two are ever the same.
I enjoyed taking photos and especially the developing process during high school and also when I briefly studied Graphic design at Tafe.
This was in a previous life before I decided to become an Arborist as a life career.
I have lived in quite a few different places over the years, but ever since I lived in Darwin, witnessing the the fury and beauty of the "bolt bonanza" I decided that one of my pass times would be storm photography. During my adventures storm hunting I have witnessed all kinds of wildlife and phenomenons. This you will see in my photos.
In recent years I have lived down in Melbourne but I still make time every year to go "bolt seeking". Not only up north but down south as well.
If there are storms about I will drop everything and jump in my ute, and I and out of there!
This is definitely one of my favourite stand outs. Taken recently just south of Hay in New South Wales(Australia). I have sandwiched two photos and will have the two separate shots in my albums.
Taken just outside of a little town called Dunedoo(Dunnydoo) in the Hunter valley in New South Wales(Australia). This storm was rather intense when it finally hit just on sunset. I had driven for 8+ hours that day to find a suitable spot where I thought there would be a good chance of getting bolts on sunset....it paid off! I have a whole series on this storm.
Up the Top End of Australia you get some serious storms....they form so quickly that they literally look atomic. As you will see in some of my shots they throw out bolts into clean air(no cloud at all), these are called "dog legs" and can have deadly results if you are struck. I had my camera on this monster hoping that it would throw one out but to no avail. But all the same, it was a very spec
One of the most beautiful and scary storms I have ever seen...almost!
This photo was taken facing south on Darwin harbour. It is a layered photo, meaning there are three frames in one. Creating a stunning shot. The originals are in albums.
This epic "dog leg' was taken facing north from East Point in Darwin on a glorious sunset. Its not every day you can get shots where it already looks photoshopped! What can I say, this was one of my first shoots from my old camera and damn if I was over the moon!
Now to a much more recent photo, this was taken from the foreshore at nightcliffe a suburb of Darwin(Australia). It is part of a Timelapse as well. The colours are just astounding and with a bit of lightning makes for a really nice atmosphere. Captured January 2021.
Big croc! Taken in a drain that ran into the east alligator river in Arnhem Land.,This one has a big story connected to it...Stay tuned! Captured on 2015 or somewhere around there.
That was a bit close! I didn't even see the bolt but saw the flash and felt the compression wave as I bent down to pick up the lens cap I dropped.
Storm out near Brichip, Victoria(Australia). Does anyone see the angry bird? Look how dry it is in this one, was in the middle of the drought 2018-2019
Storm at the gates of Ranger Mine, near Jabiru, Northern Territory(Australia).
That cloud was scary! Shortly after this I had to bolt to the car and drive back to camp through a very wild micro burst with trees and debris flying everywhere!
Sometimes Victoria has decent storms, but not too often. This cell ripped across the central area and I took this shot near Kilmore. Look at that colour, not long after I was driving through marble sized hail. The sheep were very nervous that day.
Bolt fest 2020 out near the South Alligator river, Kakadu, Northern Territory(Australia). This is a layered photo showing how active this storm was. Some of those bolts are within 200m, the one in the middle is very close! Note the rain on the lens, I was not getting out of the car to save my camera for this. Bolts were also landing beside and behind us. I tool these shots with a lightning sensor
Literally the most beautiful and scary storm ive ever seen almost! This photo was taken facing south on Darwin harbour. It is a layered photo, meaning there are three frames in one. Creating a stunning shot. The originals are in albums.
Look how the light changes as the sun goes down. This is the same spot, ranger mine entrance just a few minutes later. These Northern Territory storms are like strobe lights sometimes. I swear there was a bolt every second at one stage.
Dunedoo, after dark.

A storm over Port Phillip Bay, Mentone Australia.
Storm off the coast near the Tiwi Islands in the Northern Territory.(Australia) The tides are huge there, and creates a dazzling reflective display when nature drops a bolt!
Storm over the Grandpian, Victoria(Australia). Such a beautiful area and to add to that a couple of nice bolts!
