nice...i've always wanted to catch mother nature when she's angry but never really take the time and put out the effort to do it....so i enjoyed this video and you've inspired me a bit to try and catch an active "lightning" storm =)

[EasternOntarioTracks]

Thanks...

I haven't done much either. Storms in Ontario are rarely "photogenic" like they are on the great plains. I have a lightning clip or two I can upload but that's about it.

[Railrodder]

That was cool! How did you speed it up?

[EasternOntarioTracks]

Thanks!  VirtualDub!

[EdwardVBarber]

Meh

[EasternOntarioTracks]

Good effort
