Boom boom boom, let me hear you say 'way-oh!'

Last night we had a bigger thunderstorm than we had on Tuesday evening, plus it was later so the lightning stood out even more in the night sky. Saying that though, I went outside onto the porch with the video camera and filmed for about 10 minutes and didn't get one decent bolt of lightning on there. Saying that though, what I did get on Tuesday I didn't even know I'd filmed! I did get a load of flashes and thunder, but that's just not great TV is it. I have also now figured out how to do manual focus on the camera, so any future storm filming wont drift in and out of focus as I point it into the distance and the rain plays havoc with it!
