even if they were the older cars, ill bet Renault was able to gather heaps of useful data.

I may have posted this here before but this was the sun when we had that freak dust storm about a month ago:

And this is a crack of lightning over Brisbane last night, had the camera in "Fireworks" mode

that is a great lighting photo

Thanks mate, the only good one out of the 30 I took!

Maca, are you "cheating" by using a longer exposure time, or just click and hope you get lucky ?

my best lightning shot was just a lucky click.

wish i had more time to get some pictures with my eos.

I may be cheating... I've tried the "lucky" click a few times but with no hope. So I gave up and kept it open for about 10 seconds

Yeah you have to get very lucky with lightning shots if yorre not using longer exposures. Nearly got frazzled in qld a few years back trying to photograph a wicked storm.

The strike was about 40 meters away on a power pole.
Scared the living crap out of me.
