Default Photos of lightning from the 24/6 storms

You may well do. How long does the camera take to cycle from shutter
close to being ready to open again? Is it quicker if you abort an
known duff frame? Sods Law will apply such that either lightening will
only happen when the camera is recycling or if you do capture one the
storeage will be full.

After a gloomy start its reasonably sunny and warm here in
Chigwell....


A bit brighter here but still 8/8ths, cool 13.5C (mid 20's yesteday)
and dizzly.

It takes 7 seconds from shutter close to shutter ready again. Once the
shutter release is pressed it runs down the 8 seconds and cannot be aborted.
Like you say, sods law is bound to come into play ... I'll try this out the
next time we get any sferics worth shooting. Its probably asking too much of
the camera....

8/8ths with drizzle started in the last hour and 24C
