A student is looking for help on tropical cyclone prediction. Please fill out the survey linked to this thread: https://stormtrack.org/threads/storm-and-hurricane-intensity-prediction-survey.32957

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.

There are some amazing shots in this thread! Definitely finding some inspiration here. Heres a couple of mine:
Apeture: 22 Shutter: Bulb (46 seconds for this shot) ISO: 640 Focal Length 18MM shot from a tripod on top of my chase mobile in windy conditions
Lightning Landscape by W.O.T. Photography, on Flickr
Apeture: 22 Shutter: Bulb (88 Seconds) ISO: 640 Focal Lenth: 41MM Once again, top of car windy conditions

Apeture: 18 Shutter Bulb (4 Seconds) ISO 2500 Focal Length 18MM Shot down the street from my house the last time I went chasing
Wall Cloud N Tarrant by W.O.T. Photography, on Flickr
Lessons learned from this outing: I really need a good tripod lol Mine has the camera bag hook but it was so windy that this was making it worse.

Shot these on August 2, 2011 in South Haven MI.
Here are a few more I caught this year.
And this as well. Both are through the windshield as it was pouring out.

So many great shots!
Here are my three best. They were taken on August 2 at the same location as Kurt's photos. He and I were positioned just yards apart. Unfortunately, Kurt had to leave after the first line of storms had passed. I stuck around for a second round that swept in around 11:30, and two of the three images here were taken then.

I finally got the equipment in June to shoot lightning - a Canon EOS 60D and 3 lenses (15-30, 18-135, 75-300) along with sinking almost $600 into tripods for my cameras. I finally figured out how to shoot lightning, and had an opportunity Monday night to do so.
Here is my 2 favorites from the evening. I'm still learning though!

A more recent capture. The small size just doesn't do the image justice unfortunately.

Here's my best two shot within the last week. The first one is a daylight shot. I waited for a flash then tried to take a picture.

Simply spectacular Phil!
You should receive some kind of award for that first one.
That is the kind of shot I dream of getting but believe it will never happen.

Thanks guys! Yep, that one was definitely a keeper 
I should mention that I lucked out fast with that first one - it was my second time trying shoot some lightning with that building, and I remember it was early in the session that I got that one. The one with the Capitol, though - that one took literally years of waiting and trial and error before finally nailing it.
