Hi - Does Anyone know of any good Websites/Literature on capturing
Storms, Lightning, etc on film and/or digitally? Also are there any
Meteorology courses in U.K, preferably part-time or Distance-learning
(Could be U.S.A that one!), as I need to continue working to pay for
new laptop & other equipment!!

G'day Abo,

This note of yours reminded me of an item I've been meaning to mention
in a couple of groups -- Peter Jarver died in Kuranda in north
Queensland a few weeks ago. [Obit by Roz Pulley in _The Cairns Post
Weekend Extra_ 10-May-2003 p.3]

Peter was one of Australia's finest photographers, and one of his
specialties was photographing electrical storms. In fact, he gave up
on his electrical engineering degree and moved to Darwin in the
Northern Territory just so he could capture them on film. (Darwin,
with some 40,000 flashes each wet season, is one of the best places in
the world to study electrical storms.)

However, Peter also had great talent for capturing the mood of
Australia's vast landscapes and in 1994 was the first(?) landscape
photographer to be awarded a Master of Photography by the Australian
Institute of Professional Photography.

He and his wife, Deborah, moved to Kuranda in 1993 and opened
galleries there and in Cairns. His work has been published in books,
magazines and calendars, and may be found in galleries, collections,
and adorning the walls of international airports and hotels.

The Peter Jarver Online site is:

You can see some of his "skyscapes" on the "Limited Editions" link
http://www.peterjarver.com/browse.php?cat=16
(Click on the thumbnails to get a larger image, and some brief
technical notes. There are a few other sky/lightning shots on some of
the other links too, but the LE/Skyscapes has a good sample which you
can easily browse.)

Cheers, Phred.
