Description
I spent 10 minutes with filming a church in focus during a thunderstorm - expecting a strike to hit its roof. It did not, but it hit something in the background. However, the pictures looked nice enough to show it to you. Maybe you like it :) Please note: For the slow motion repititions I have used faked lightning stike sounds. Furthermore, the slow motion pictures were faded frame by frame with a constant frame rate of 30fps. This is the reason why the slow motion pictures look so smooth. As every scientist knows, an electronic discharge runs with almost light speed. What you see in a lightning strike is just the 'glow' of the ionized air molecules within the electronic strike path. This light has a much longer lightning time. The long thunderstrike sound is caused by the non-straight path of the electronic strike to the ground, due to the relatively slow sound speed in air. If the lightning strike would be constantly radial in distance to you, then you would hear a big BANG. This can sometimes happen. Well, for more details you can contact me. ;)
