God's Power Display
There was a really beautiful storm the other night and I rushed out to watch a little bit of God's power display. I found that it was rather difficult to try to take a picture of lightning with a digital camera. Because of the delay from the point you press the button and the time it actually takes the picture you can miss a great lightning strike. There were much better flashes that night, but this was the best one I could get. I included my first tries, so you could appreciate my hard work. :)
When He utters His voice, {there is} a tumult of waters in the heavens, And He causes the clouds to ascend from the end of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain, And brings out the wind from His storehouses. Jer 10:13

Posted by: JRC at June 13, 2004 09:14 PMcan't help with lightning either, but i can testify that a tabletop tripod has helped my non-flash pictures immensely. now i'm able to catch even moving objects without nearly as much blur as handheld attempts.
