DirtyRobot's Japan: Very Active Thunderstorm, North Tokyo
Just an update. I shot this with a point and shoot compact camera, Samsung S730, mounted on a tripod. In Manual mode I can get the camera to expose for 8 seconds, so I set the countdown timer for two seconds and let the camera do it's thing. This is the first time I have caught a strike this way because the storm was really cooking. Before I always seemed to miss the good shots.
