Re: PESO: Thunderbolt and lightning
Years ago, when I lived in the mid-west, I tried catching a bolt of lightening on film. No chance! By the time I realized there had been a flash, it was too late. You just have to open the shutter, wait and hope. The darker the scene the better. At least with digital you can delete and try again at no cost except battery drain.
