[davenn]

hi guys
Some serious storms from West Ryde, NSW, Australia today, 15 Dec 2018
from home and wharf at end of my street. The lightning strikes are frame grabs from video
All images from a Canon 6D

You using infrared.
I see some color, but from the contrast...

just a standard Canon 6D camera with a 24-105mm, f4 lens
which colour are you specifically referring to ?Dave

Well its the crispness of some of your photos that make them stand out as being very good and pleasing to look at.
I guess I was just showing off my un-initiation with photography, say for example the trees are not more whitish as would normally be with IR.
Color - the yellow man, the red house, the green trees bottom right in the last three photos, against as backdrop of shades of lack and white and a bit of blue.
If you didn't ask for it to turn out that way, or if you did, those three photos are impressive to me at least.

These all were touched up a little in Lightroom. If I hadn't, all that bush/trees would have been almost black
I pulled up the shadows a bit so the bush could be seen with some detail

Raw images out of cameras can be a little "flat" looking
A touch of Dehaze, Clarity and Shadow adjustments bring the images up to more like it was visually observed

I hate seeing photos that have been over-processed. I want people to see the scene the way I saw it as I stood thereDave
