I saw some serious lightening. I was in between 2 storms and the flashes were on both sides. it was pretty cool
I saw a power line sparking and my buddy tried to call AEP but they have a retarded phone system and he couldn't ever get through to report it. Hopefully no fires will be started since everything is wet

I was outside last night for like an hour watching a killer electrical storm. It was all traveling through the clouds and then would occasionally hit the ground. It was so much that I took 1 picture and actually got it in the picture. I've been trying to capture it on film now for like a year but I always miss it. Then I ran out of room on my card.



There's got to be some kind of technique that makes it easier and a clearer picture.

Camera Raw + Photoshop.

Send me the file & I'll see what I can do with it.

[JDUB]

did you try using a tripod and slow exposure? you would have to set the exposure depending on how much lightening there is, but if it is really slow you could have multiple bolts in one picture. last night i was really wishing that i had my camera with me

[LUconn]

No, it was spur of the moment, and I don't have a tripod. I set it on auto with flash (non flash would have been way too long of an exposure without a tripod) and I just covered the flash with my hand. I don't think it came out that bad but there's a little too much noise for my taste.

At first I thought it was a mistake, then you did it again. Unless you meant you saw the "descent of the uterus into the pelvic cavity that occurs late in pregnancy; the fetus is said to have dropped" then I think you mean lightning.

[JDUB]

yeah, i can't spell, i'm aware of that

[JDUB]

looks like more thunderstorms on the way. thunderstorm warning just flashed on the screen and i looked outside and there are some nasty looking clouds

[SuperJon]

Yay. I get to drive in this crap.

[JDUB]

it just thundered.

i think the warning was only until 4:30,but that can't be right b/c its headed this way now

[JDUB]

they just flashed a tornado warning. its not for campbell, but still. this may get ugly

[Sly Fox]

We can't even get a little drizzle and you guys are getting storms every few days. This is getting frustrating by the day this summer.

[kel varson]

Lots of storms here in NOVA too.

[Cider Jim]

The rain will help my tomato plants.

The rain will help my tomato plants.

Yay for Salmonella

[Cider Jim]

NOT on my homegrown tomatoes!

[Hold My Own]

We need it on page 3 now




I'm so glad I revived this thread....

[Hold My Own]

Anyone hear that loud bang??? Yeah that was my house...

[SuperJon]

You know that Severe Thunderstorm Warning in Pittsylvania County? Yea, I was driving on 29 when that was going through there. It looked like the lightning was striking right outside my car.

[Hold My Own]

It's getting good out there boys

[LUconn]

dang, there's like a hurricane outside and my windows are down.

[SuperJon]

I just went out to get my iPod out of my car and the wind blew my front door to my house back open. With that being said, I get to go drive to Martinsville in this stuff.

[SuperJon]

Ok, nevermind. I think I'll wait fifteen minutes.

[Fumblerooskies]

Yeah...this is one of the better wind + T-Storms we've had. ALMOST reminiscent of the tornado weather we had a few years back...what was it...03? 04?

[Hold My Own]

dang, there's like a hurricane outside and my windows are down.

but your wipers are up right???
