Nice Storm

Bolt1

Caught a nice one!

Today we had a very nice electrical storm. The video camera does not work well with lightning, but the Nikon sure does. I set the shutter to 1/4 second, put the camera on the tripod, and then just held the button down. Out of 750 shots, I got five with bolts. Most were so-so, but this one turned out well. I did manage to get some great thunder on tape, so expect it to show up in future videos.

These are short, science oriented videos that don't fit neatly into other categories. Many are just for fun, as I learn more about the world of video.
