I think I need to fully explain this image to you.

When I'm out shooting these storms at Porthcawl Lighthouse, things are happening all at once, here I fired off three shots in quick succession panning right to left. The resulting images were disappointing because each one only told part of the story and I choose to ignore them when reviewing the day's work, as I felt none of the three individually would hold up against others I had already posted to Flickr. A few days ago I looked at them again and was feeling a bit sad that I had failed to capture such a dynamic scene properly, but it slowly dawned on me that I had, just not in one shot. Anyway, to get to the point, I thought why the hell can't I do a pano with them? So I did, four attempts and five hours later this was the result. I thought full disclosure was necessary and I hope you will forgive me taking such a liberty. Personally, I feel that this image best captures my experience of the storm than of any I have previously posted, many thanks - Steve.
