Lightning bolt using my diy auto trigger 19th July 2014


 Taken from my open window this was the first time I've had chance to test my intervalometer's built in lightning detector. As you can see it works to my delight. I just have to set my camera, plug in the intervalometer and every time there is a flash it almost instantly takes a picture.
In the intervalometer I can change the sensitivity at any time to adjust for the ambient light conditions. The only thing it cannot do is to point the camera in the right direction so I did miss a lot where the camera took a picture of a bright sky with no lightning. The setting for this shot were ISO800 F7.1 for 2 seconds. Probably not the best settings as normally I would use ISO100 for 4 or5 seconds but I just caught this one at these settings.
