• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

On Friday northwest of Pagosa Springs, CO, I observed a winter thunderstorm with a heavy burst of graupel (snow pellets) and a considerable amount of close CG lightning. Managed to get one bolt on video:

Nice catch. Those day time lightning captures are an exercise in frustration at times ... and with snow on the ground. that's my kind of photo op but I'm homebound for a time.
 
Were you shooting blind or running a lightning trigger? I've had mixed results using a lightning trigger during daytime conditions with false triggers often tying up the camera when the better flash occurs. Was that a video capture? if not, mind sharing the ISO, aperture and shutter settings you were using for that particular shot?

I believe he stated in his post that it was a video capture.
