• 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.

I got a new Canon EOS 2000D for an early birthday present back in March. I'm currently used to many of it's party pieces, including connecting it to a smartphone to transfer images and using the smartphone as a remote to the camera.

I took some nice macros and a few pictures of some garter snakes at a local nature community center back on Sunday. I'd like to use this camera for what I call backyard stormchasing this year. Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated. :)
 
What lens(es) do you have? Do you have a tripod?

I do have a tripod. I got a telephoto lens, a wide-angle/macro lens, plus the main lens housing it came with. The main lens is EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 III

It is a DSLR, a whole different machine than the digital ones I'm used to. It will take some doing to learn all of it's gadgets and gizmos.

I live in Western New York. I don't usually go out to chase storms, so I wait for them to come to me :D I usually like getting lightning shots, and good shots of cumulus clouds when they develop nearby.
