From: David Mann
We rarely get thunderstorms here but when I noticed clouds moving in
from the northeast with more clouds moving in from the southwest at
the same time, I knew we were in for a bit of a show.
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
I think there's a hacked firmware for the K10D/K20D that allows you to
turn off the dark frame subtraction, but I've never had the nerve to try it.
