A few stills from videos of the BoltFest of July 21-22nd before the rain





It was very hard to get the bolts to show as well as the naked eye could see them last night. maybe because they were mostly within a cloud formation, which I did get good pics of and will show below. It was evident from the start of this distinctive cloud formation, that they would create bolts, so I was checking them from before sunset up to when flashes started.

You will notice they show mostly in red tones, and that is not my camera, that is the colour I saw them. I have yet to finish checking all the videos I took, but hope I will have caught some of the more blueish bolts and some of those that clearly showed the huge cloud formation's silhouette, but not too counting on that to happen, for I looking at the camera viewer as many flashed and not many seemed to show on the camera viewer.

I tried different settings, but this camera has a will of its own...

Now for some of the pics of the clouds themselves... I was also taking pics of the sunset, so I will show both sets, as I was clicking to the south for the bolt creating clouds and to the north-west for the sunset ones. I even have a few of the moon, but Lady Moon is a finicky one, and not many results were worth keeping. Even the ones I will show are not that good, but hey, so much better than others, I have to show something!









Intermission due to overloading my live memory or some such thingie just to spice-up my day... duh' I'll also try to take the time to crop and add time and comments... try...

Let's leave it at that for now shall we? Well, technically, you don't have any choice.

Toodles!
