These are the first lightning photos in several months. It was a good electrical storm but the lightning wasn't so photogenic.
DLSR Lightning Trigger 4
Success again! This time the lightning trigger managed to capture a good bolt (though not as photogenic as I would have liked). I ran into trouble again with my camera exiting the "Quick-response remote" release mode. This caused me to miss more than a few events, but I did find…
DSLR Lightning Trigger 3
Finally Some Lightning ... IT WORKS! Tonight, I was finally able to deploy the prototype of my lightning trigger. The storm wasn't particularly photogenic, but it at least helped prove the concept. Lightning was slim and no bolts were in the best area for my camera, but the camera did…
DSLR Lightning Trigger 2
Lightning Drought Back in September, I created a simple Arduino-based lightning trigger (original article). I've been waiting since then for the chance to test the circuit in the field. Yesterday provided the first real chance to test the circuit; unfortunately, I missed it. Improving the Program Even though I missed…

June 15, 2011 Lightning
Tonight turned out to be one of the best nights I've had for lightning photography. I was able to place my camera outside under the new awning over the deck and take a ton of photos. Since this particular storm was so energetic, I was able to capture lightning in…
