What I wanted to ask was you and most other people here post pics like they are framed and with copyright notices etc on them with titles and equipment used, what software do you use to do that? Many thanks, Colin aka Technium If you follow the link in my sig, you will find the script he used on those photo's. Mike

The first illustrates an important fact about lightning - it can travel sideways as well as downwards. That is one reason for the old adage - when you first hear thunder, head for safe cover. Harold

I got 5 frames of the second strike and this was the only one remotely in focus. __Bryan__

I generally use the tripod and hold the shutter open for 30+ seconds hoping for a strike. Dave
