Okay, I`ll bite - a manifestation of inherent human atavistic need which harks back to our origins and development as a species, and has not yet been totally subsumed in all people by urbanisation and "civilisation".
Exactly the same "need" to interact with the natural world that drives the desire in some (many?) to own pets, go camping and grow one`s own vegies. Merely on a different level.   The question itself, of course, infers some sort of reprehensibility in the pastime - which would logically make one wonder whether any person asking such a question would be ideologically inclined towards anthropomorphism - at the extreme end of the scale, typified by hardline animal rights activists who would maintain that even owning a pet is a form of slavery or compensation for some personal deficiency.   One could respond to such a question by seeking justification for asking the question in the first place, merely by saying; "And I need to morally justify my fishing in the first instance...because?"   I am presuming the thread starter was made with the intent of merely gathering opinions rather than engaging in further discussion, and on that basis I personally will continue merely watching this thread without further active participation.

So with the change we had the other day and checking the radar there was signs of lightning that could be heading through Adelaide. I checked the radar after I finished work and saw that most of the lightning was down the south coast, So i didn't worry about it. 
 
Then i get a message from my mate to get down the beach as the lightning was coming. SO raced off to Porties and met up with him. By the time I got there it was gone and my mate left, i thought id hang around to see if anymore was on it's way. 
 
I am glad i stayed! Even though I waited and sat through the periods inbetween flashes which was nearly 4 hours and not having my remote on me to use bulb mode for long exposures. I managed to come up with these 3 crackers.
 
Now bare in mind that there has been no editing or photoshop, this is how it came straight off the camera! Im pretty impressed with how they turned out. 
 
Hope you enjoy.
