AndrewOW Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Wow! The lightning was just like that on wednesday night here in Eastbourne. The sky was alight with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 thats amazing, especially how it seems to stem down a number of paths, then when it connects to earth down one of its veins it lets everything rip down that one path and seemingly rains charge down on that spot for a period of time (obviously stupidly short period of time) but its not like i thought it was; one strain of charge and thats it, its actually flowing down the path for a minuet time.. wow, not only nature but wow at the technology that actually photographed that!! imagine watching the same length of clip but for say a ball falling from a heigh.. it would have never moved over that 15 / 20 secs!

tbourner Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Wow! The lightning was just like that on wednesday night here in Eastbourne. The sky was alight with it. We saw that looking out our back door (in Havant, facing East). Didn't hear any thunder just saw flashes in/through the clouds, never seen anything like it but it looked cool.

Pot Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 thats amazing, especially how it seems to stem down a number of paths, then when it connects to earth down one of its veins it lets everything rip down that one path and seemingly rains charge down on that spot for a period of time If I'm right, something I read said that once it connects to the ground, the big bit actually goes upwards! And if you get to the point just before the fork hits the ground, then start pausing-playing it, you can see that happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Denial Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 That is very cool. Always been fascinated by lightning. You can also see the bolt pulsing. I would also love to storm chase, but my girlfriend wouldn't. She would say I had a death wish or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pot Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hmmm... Now I read the valuable source of accurate info (Yahoo Answers) it seems to be 6 of one, 0.5 of a dozen... http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080409164806AAidiMz I guess it all depends on how you interpret lightning, the bit you see, or what actually makes it tick Anyhow, a bit of frantic pausing (Years of holding the remote in the wrong hand whilst viewing pr0n ) - And I got the pic of it heading upwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Looks amazing, I wonder how much they had to film before they got that shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 The main discharge travels from ground to cloud. If you look on some pictures you will see 'leaders' going up to meat the decending bolt, from tree tops, buildings and sometimes people.
