Hi everyone,
First of all, i'm sorry to write this in English, but my French is too bad to write this in French, and I don't want people to get confused.
I'm sure there will be a lot of stormchasers here on this forum, I saw some awsome photos at photolive! I'm a Belgian stormchaser and addicted to thunderstorms. But when a cell arrives and you quickly need to find a place when it's dark, you might not find one, or think that you've found one, but when the lightning starts to strike you see that you're on the edge of a forest or something what makes your sight not good. To prevent situations like that I've started a page where people can send coördinates and they will all be placed on a map. This map is available to everybody and will show all points where you have a good sight for lightning and stormphotography. I started the project yesterday and I was supprised by the input I got from lots of people. Now I'm here to ask you the same, if you know some good places in France or anywhere in Western Europe, send them through the form and I'll add it to the map!
You can find the form here: http://weerfotos.be/submit_place.html
Click on the map and a pin with the coordinates will show up, paste them in the large text field on the right, fill in the security code and "send email"
You can find the map with all the points so far here: http://weerfotos.be/plaatsen.html
Thanks for your cooperation, and make sure to use it whenever you need it!
Kind regards,
Bart De Bruyn
