Excellent, David!
I've never tried my hand at long exposures. I did once manage to capture
some lightning shots using one of those disposable film cameras, years
ago. I obviously haven't been able to duplicate that success with
digital, though.

We rarely get thunderstorms here but when I noticed clouds moving in from the

I stood out at the footpath watching the fireworks and eventually thought I
should try to take a few pics...

K10D, 16-45mm (at 16mm).
I didn't get very long before my battery started to run low but I'd had enough
by then and the storm was heading north. I ended up shooting at f/22 for 15
seconds. The wait during the dark-frame subtraction was agonising, especially
the times when I just missed spectacular flashes.
It would have been spectacular to view from the hills.
Cheers,
Dave
