# RPS-TJ It's been flashy in Van this evening. Best shot so far. Lovely orange sunset with non-stop lightning.

Woo for winkyvan.

Gorgeous. Is that from filming or did you get lucky?

# Custom motion detection script running on the camera.
Using CHDK. Shit load of misses and bad framing.
But got a couple more neat ones and still downloading
from memory card 2 as I type this.

# I'm using a real cheap model. A470.
I'd love to have the bucks for a proline one.
I think he knows of the project. But he's got
most of the features built-in on his model.
edit: from second batch after full sunset.

# My lightnings!
Lightning!

Taken on holiday in Calgary a couple of weeks ago. My camera is nice, but not too expensive. Set it to continuously take photos, and hand-held it. Took about 150 photos, and this is the only lightning one.

# It really was a spectacular evening.
Still some lightning, but far off now. Got a mess of
good pics. High rez (100kb) of another.

edit: A last one 1280x960 (175 kb) from the tail
end of the storm a half hour ago. BIG FUCKER!

# I saw this strike...
...from the Cannery. (A seafood restaurant with a nice-ish view, the bits that haven't got all industrial.)

Great shot! I wish we had more dramatic weather.

And thanks for the info about CHDK, just installed it on my A470 as well and can't wait to try it out!
