Lightning in slow motion

Nothing really to promote here. Just wanted to share some of nature's beauty right in my own backyard. If only I had a proper high-speed camera.



And yes, I practically live in a forest.

Heh, that's pretty cool. You really get a sense of what lightning actually does, instead of that idea of the instant bolt that I assume most have.

Yeah, there are many videos on youtube showing that isn't the case. Like this one:

Nice backyard you got there. Cool video, too. Lightning is really beautiful to watch... and it's funny when they short-circuit. ;D

WOW! That is really amazing!

We get lightning shows like that here in Colorado, too. They are truly spectacular.

Very nice job on the vid. Replayed it a few times!
