It's hot every place I've been between central Oregon and central California.
So, as much as I'd like to avoid it, it's pretty hard to miss.

Lightning

[Larry Colen]

On my drive home yesterday, first I got waylaid by a nice sunset, and that cost 
me about an hour, then since I took a different route than my normal, (97 
instead of 5) I stumbled across a nice vista point of Mount shasta, just as it 
got dark enough for astrolandscape stuff.  I was about to make my escape when 
the clouds (and traffic) I had been fighting cleared up and I had to start all 
over.  Long story short, about 5 am I pulled over on an offramp, and while I 
was rearranging the van so I’d have room to sleep, I set a camera up on a 
tripod with the interval timer to try to get some photos of the lightning storm.

California doesn’t get a lot of big thunderstorms,  and this one, combined with 
some unusually hot weather lent a bunch of excitement to Central and Northern 
CA.  I kept seeing lightning until almost 9AM.

Here’s what I think was the best shot of the lightning:

Re: OT - using Apple “Lightning to SD card camera reader”

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

John, 

If you have Ethernet, you can get WiFi at home by buying a WiFi router and 
setting it up.  Very very easy to do, and not expensive. WiFi routers run from 
about $50 and up, and are not hard to set up at all. Makes moving data to and 
from your iPhone a lot easier. 

Here's a listing of software titles for PC/Windows to transfer photos:

I don't have wi-fi at home, so I needed a way to connect to my existing

To do what you want, without a jump through WiFi and the cloud, I’d buy a
wired hard drive and file transfer device to take them off the iPhone and
then connect that to the NAS through your desktop computer to move them
there. Easier and more reliable is to just use Dropbox or Apple’s Cloud to do
the job, which is what I use unless I just connect the iPhone to my computer
and transfer all the files to it (or a NAS) using LR or any image transfer
app on the desktop system.



Use the camera adapter to connect directly to a USB hard-drive? Or I can connect 
the iPhone directly to my desktop as a USB device?


Ok, I'll search for that and give it a try. If I can get the photos to my 
desktop, I can get them to the NAS.




I don’t run Windows systems so I’m not sure of the names of such apps there,
but I know Apple does supply one FoC.

The basic msg is that there’s no native app that knows how to output files to
external storage arbitrarily. Next iOS there will be. So at present you need
an app that knows how to move the data you want to move to a particular
destination.

Re: OT - using Apple “Lightning to SD card camera reader”

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I see it neither as feature nor flaw. iOS devices are not generalized, all 
purpose computers, at least not until the next iOS (and iPadOS) ships. They 
were designed first for wireless communications with personal security, all 
else is second to that. Judging them by the standards of general purpose 
computing devices when it come to file management isn’t really sensible until 
iOS becomes appropriately generalized and supports arbitrary file IO like those 
computers are designed to.

You’ve heard the comment: “it is a feature, not a flaw.”  In this case, the 
comment fits. The iOS file system makes it very difficult for files to move 
to/from  the device which, at least in principle, makes the device and the 
information thereon much more secure.

Re: OT - using Apple “Lightning to SD card camera reader”

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Seems an awfully complicated way to connect an iPhone to the internet. The 
adapter dongle is designed to allow USB peripherals (cameras, keyboards, etc) 
to send data to the iPhone, not the iPhone to the net. 

To do what you want, without a jump through WiFi and the cloud, I’d buy a wired 
hard drive and file transfer device to take them off the iPhone and then 
connect that to the NAS through your desktop computer to move them there. 
Easier and more reliable is to just use Dropbox or Apple’s Cloud to do the job, 
which is what I use unless I just connect the iPhone to my computer and

Re: OT - using Apple “Lightning to SD card camera reader”

[Paul Sorenson]

The easiest way I've found to move photos and other files between an 
iPhone/iPad and a PC is with an iXpand flash drive - basically an 
updated version of sneaker-net.  Lightning adapter on one end and USB on 
the other.  The app from Sandisk is free for iOS.


https://tinyurl.com/y3mj35fm

A 128 gig version will set you back about $44 and a 32 gig version is 20 
bucks less.

Airdrop or email. Simple minded, probably not the most efficient, but I seldom 
have a reason to do that.

Re: OT - using Apple “Lightning to SD card camera reader”

[Stanley Halpin]

Yes, unmodified DNG or jpeg. If I want to put images from e.g. Lightroom onto 
the iPad, I Airdrop to the iPad or first put them into iCloud and load from 
there into Photos.

An alternate would be to put LR Mobile onto the iPad, synch from PS or LR to 
the Adobe cloud. And they’ll appear on LR Mobile. Once in LR mobile on the 
iPad, they can be exported to Photos if you need to for some reason.

But generally I do not try to use SD cards as a transfer media. With the new 
iPadOS coming “real soon”, that sort of transfer should be much more feasible, 
but I think the new OS won’t be working on the Air, Air 2 is the oldest as I 
recall.

Re: OT - using Apple “Lightning to SD card camera reader”

[John]

I have a similar question, but going the other way.

I have an iPhone that I connect to the internet using a "Lightning to Camera 
Adapter" (USB) [powered by the wall wart] connected to a USB to Ethernet adapter 
and a cable to the Router.


Does the iPhone have a command similar to "Net Use" so I can offload photos from 
the phone to my NAS box?


I don't want to have to put them up in the iCloud and then download them again 
to get them on my local system.


I'm at whatever version of iOS that released last night.

Thanks Godfrey.

I just tried loading jpgs straight from the camera and it did work.
I haven’t figured out how to download jpegs that have been perfected through 
photoshop. I downloaded jpegs from my pc to an SD card but they are not 
recognized by the iPad on import.

If you want some fun reading, Google "color temperature of lightning".

I generally find that any *fixed* WB will work because in Camera Raw I'm
going to use the eye dropper tool to select some spot in the clouds that
I think should be more or less 18% gray and then sync the rest of them
to the first one.

Re: PESO - Lightning Strike, Polzeath, Cornwall 2014

[Bob W-PDML]

Very nice, especially the way the cloud is lit.

I went to the Dennis Hopper exhibition after work today, and cycled home at 
about 9pm, all the time watching the lightning flashing in the dense black 
clouds in the east. Felt the occasional fat drop of rain, but no downpour. The 
whole thing was a magnificent sight, and when I was cycling along the river in 
Greenwich the walkway was lined with people taking photos of the lightning over 
the Dome, and each time there was a flash a great cheer went up from the 
passengers on the pleasure cruisers.

PESO - Lightning Strike, Polzeath, Cornwall 2014

[Steve Cottrell]

Spent a few days in Cornwall and we have some hot air coming up the
latitudes from Spain. Treated to a good show last night and managed to
capture something half decent with the Fuji X-E1 and Pentax A*85/1.4
balanced on a bread tin atop an ironing board on the holiday apartment
balcony!

Settled on 800 ISO with about f/5.6 and kept doing 10 second exposures
one after the other, finger on the shutter holding it down in Bulb mode.

<http://pdml.posthaven.com/lightning-strike-polzeath-cornwall-2014>

Back at home now and we have a couple of days of more rough weather -
it's bakin hot here!

I was driving home from Texas and pulled over to take a nap. When I woke up

one of the exposures, I got several lightning strikes.

The photo "straight out of the camera" was pretty cool:

I’m still not entirely satisfied with it, but I think that I’ve made some

The above post was motivated because a friend talked me into joining her photo

It’s fun to revisit old shots with improved software and skills for

PESO and a story, Texas Lightning

[Larry Colen]

 Last night I pulled the birthday present cop out of letting a friend choose a 
photo (or two) out of my portfolio. One of the prints was one I did several 
years, and generations of lightroom ago. To replace the print, I reprocessed 
the photo. After I got the print back from costco, I went back and massaged it 
a bit more.

I was driving home from Texas and pulled over to take a nap. When I woke up 
(probably about 2:30 rather than the 12:30 the exif shows because of my not 
resetting time zones) there was lightning off in the distance. I set up my 
camera on a tripod with my 77/1.8 and started taking 20 second exposures. For 
one of the exposures, I got several lightning strikes.

The photo "straight out of the camera" was pretty cool:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/13915457390/in/set-72157644505096665

Heads-up : Rokinon 24 mm /1.4 for K-mount on Amazon lightning deals (Sunday)

[Igor Roshchin]

Just in case: it looks like tomorrow (Sunday), on Amazon, one of the 
"lightning deals" at 1:50pm CST, will be Rokinon 24mm/1.4 for Pentax.

I don't know how much it will go for, but I thought I'd let you guys
know, just in case somebody would be tempted.

It is a manual focus lens. And, as far as I understand, all Rokinon
lenses for Pentax are "A", i.e. have automatic aperture.

Wouldn't surprise me as they're plainly not made for lighting as such.
Probably powered by a small transformer at 12VAC or thereabouts.
Should last for ages too.

Curiously I saw more similar bulbs at another venue on the weekend
where I was attending a birthday bash. A few of the invitees were
architects and when I mentioned the lights they indicated that it's
now all the rage and they are being used in many new architectural
designs about the city. We have effectively banned filament lighting
for energy conservation reasons so I assume that they get special
allowances as they are effectively a decorative element.

Cool! I shot a guitar trio in a coffee shop the other day and they had
old filament lamps running at low voltage like this too, I didn't
manage to shoot any however. Maybe I should next time, thanks for the

That sounds like perfect timing. I had heard that the key for lightening 
shots was a very long exposure - have to try this in the future, though 
I think I'd need the cable thingie to ge the K5 to go longer than 30

Re: K-5 will be among Amazon "Lightning Deals" at 11:15 am PST today

The lowest percentage off has been 30% on lightning deals. If they do

I set up as long an exposure (almost) as it would let me do without "Dark Frame 
Subtraction" and then I just fiddled with ISO and f-stop to get something in 
the ballpark.  I think a K-X would have been ideal here for higher sensitivity, 
but oh well!

I really like that photo further down because it shows such a thin line of 
lightning on the left.  Seems very unusual, he must have just caught the

Lucky spot, great timing (I question that it is more than

image is to me spectacular only because of the fact depicted, not
because it is overly pretty imo.

at the French channel coast. A few minutes later I had to get back into
the car because the rain was so strong that I couldn't even continue
shooting under the tailgate. Pit really.

Re: PESO: Thunderbolt and lightning

[Jack Davis]

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.

Re: PESO: Thunderbolt and lightning

[Ken Waller]

He could have been talking about a camera with an electronic view finder - 
I've used a Niknon 5700 with EVF, which was very impractrical to use to 
capture actions images - push the release, count 1, 2 - picture captured.

Recently saw a TV moment featuring a person known for his lightening/sever 
storm photos. When asked if he used film or digital, (his equipment showed 
an SLR) he explained that he shoots film, "because there is a shutter lag 
with digital which would cause him to miss the lightening bolt." What a 
double container!

Makes me wonder what happened to the rest of the tree.

Ugh!  I didn't get up until 11:30 a.m. today--Blues Fest last night; I

Blues Fest was done at 9:30p.  We stopped at Miller's Pub for a quick 
snort, but literally that was it.  I don't know what's wrong with me.

Think I'm going to go take a nap.  Cheers, Christine
