Thanks for that URL Steven. Looks interesting.

I think a problem with the compact digital cameras is the slow focus.
SLR digital cameras however, do not suffer from this.

I heard another 'NZTS Insert' on National radio this afternoon with Bob Crowder mentioning the John Gaul roof incident and putting in a plug for the NZTS.

I never heard it as I never got home until 3:30pm and when coming onto the internet to check weather etc, I got an email from Bob to say the programme was on from 3pm.TODAY. I wished I had known earlier
I hope the 'roof incident' wasn't too embarrassing?// :roll: :oops:

Thanks for that link Steven.

And that's the other thing to use to get day time lightning. I've read about those trigger devices in the past but had forgot about them.

I didn't relise Bob was on the radio today. Maybe it was arranged 'all of a sudden?'.

For those that didn't see the Press article on "Our Mystical Weather" I have typed the text and scanned most of the pictures onto a web page.

There is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes.
