hi,

like i said, i went out friday nite to take pictures of a storm passing
by.

well, it was the first time i took lightning pictures, and i never even
read anything about it (i just noticed the storm coming back from a
party, grabbed the OM2 and the tripod out of the car). so i set up the
equipment, opened the shutter and waited for a lightning bolt to strike,
then released the shutter lock.

i got the first film back, and of the 16 pics i shot onto that one, 7-8
were absolutely stunning. i had expected much less than i received.
(surprisingly, only 2 pics didn't have lightening on them, and 1 had it
cut off at the side).

now i need a slide scanner :)

BTW: thanks to all for the links to german shops
