Well, we're in the new house! Not completely moved from our apartment just yet, but the cable internet connection and TV got hooked up today (digital cable service too - oh, so cool!!), and I'm writing this from my new home office!

It's these kind of things that make it start to feel like home......now if I don't get off the 'puter and get back to cleaning/unpacking, etc., the wife is gonna have my head.....

Sure man - here ya' go:

how do you get pics like that timed so well??? Just have a crazy fast reflex or leave the shutter open for a few seconds/minutes.

 

My digital camera can have an open shutter for as long as 8 seconds.

So during distant thunderstorms (trust me, those storms are waaaaay further than they look), I would set the camera pointing in the direction of the storm, with the shutter setting on the 8 second (longest) speed. Sit the cam on a solid surface (table, wall, etc), hit the shutter really carefully (so as not to shake the camera and get a blurred image) and hope for a strike while the shutter is open. Out of about 200 attempts, these three were the only real keepers.

You should have lied and just told him you have "uber-ninja" reflexes.

 

thanks buddy, that last one is the one I was referring to.......
