Muddy but beautiful neighbourhood bike ride.

Dang there are apparently very good auroras happening! But it won't be dark for an hour and a half. I may have to go to bed and set an alarm for 1am... I'm so tired...

@sundogplanets camera trick for lighting shots during a thunderstorm . Set a camera up with manual exposure settings (on a tripod) with a really long exposure time, small aperture (big f number) long shutter speed, or manually hold shutter open, Then wait for a lightning.

The lighting will be so bright it will illuminate the scene.

Just don’t leave the camera or its operator where it will be struck by lightning

@sundogplanets I just came back online to see if anybody had been posting pictures yet. None so far!

@sundogplanets hmm. Well, I *was* planning on sleeping, but maybe not...

@sundogplanets It won't be dark here until like September. Am I right, @redrummy?
