John LuskGlorious. I'd love to know how they did it.
Florence@tarheel @nando161 @pluralistic It's just a frame from a video recording. That's how most people catch lightning strikes.
Man, there go my dreams of dozens of cameras in likely spots and ionization detection and....
It seems higher-res than I'm used to with frame grabs, but maybe I should get used to that now.
bri@tarheel @themaritimegirl @nando161 historically, if it was dark enough out, you’d just do a long (bulb) exposure on film and simply release once there was a strike… if it’s dark enough you’re not really building up too much of an exposure, but then a lot of light happens at once, as with using a strobe to capture motion, except with lightning (or fireworks) the light itself is what you want to capture.

So like, a long exposure with an f-stop appropriate for something close to daylight?
