I put my D7000 on a tripod last night trying to capture the red skies to the west. After I was finished taking some photos, I started seeing some crazy lighting. I took my camera and changed it over to movie mode and let it run while nature put on a show. It was an amazing storm!. I had to go inside when some giant rain drops came down. Music is by Live “Lightning Crashes”
When I took those photos of the lightning storm the other night, I also had my video cam running. I condensed 20 minutes of lightning footage into a 2 minute video. I slowed the footage way down so you could see the bolts hit the earth. I also dubbed in some thunder claps for effect and to top it off, I added in a little Mozart, The Marriage of Figaro – Overture. Enjoy!

Rachael and I were walking on the track behind our house, and we could see that an amazing storm was brewing. It started to get close so we ran inside for cover, and I broke out the cameras. I tried to get some shots of the lightning, and some of them turned out pretty cool. Not in perfect focus, but still pretty cool. I hope you enjoy!
I took this footage at my house 6-14-2010 with my Canon XH A1. I don’t have my presets down yet, but It still looked pretty good. I filmed over 20 minutes of storm footage, most of it was waiting for the lightning. I pulled out the good stuff, and slowed it way down. Then with some dubbed in thunder sounds I finished it off with a little Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. Scatamoosh! Scatamoosh can you do the fandango! thunderbolts of lightning, very very frightening!
Did you see this marble size hail that came down here in Boise, it was crazy at my house. Sorry to all those that were driving and cars were exposed to this stuff. Thy boys were screaming like little girls!
