Thunderstorm in Houston last night

I always get weird looks when I run to the balcony with the tripod
and camera. Tonight their was the first lightning storm… or I
should say… first lightning since we moved in. I took about 20
timed shots altogether and only 4 or so were workable. This was the
best one of the bunch.

Great shot. Would you mind posting your exposure information?

Camera Make: Canon
Camera Model: Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III
Image Date: 2009:07:22 20:41:56
Flash Used: No
Focal Length: 50.0mm
CCD Width: 4.81mm
Exposure Time: 30.000 s
Apertu f/16.0
ISO equiv: 50
White Balance: Auto
Exposure Mode: Manual

Available from the second link the OP posted. There's a plugin for
Firefox called FxIF which grabs exif information when you right-click
on an image and select 'Properties'.

Many thanks.

Nice plugin.

I wonder what this one is all about:

CCD Width: 4.81mm

EXIF is always a bit weird, no biggie, just curious.

Or available from the Mozzilla site if you search for exif under
udd-ons. FWIW, it would appear this is the only Mozilla 3.5 compatible
exif plugin.

It's a bug... just wondering if it applies only to Canon cameras.

Udd-ons? Is that they called falsies back in the 1940s?

I guess I should have worded my coment better. The other exif plugins
and this one would appear to work with older versions, but this one
would seem to be the only one compatible with 3.5.x and back. It does
provide a lot less info than Exif Viewer which I've used to the last
year or two and does have an expeimental version compatible with
FF3.5.x and gives a whole lot more info.

Well, thanks, but it was Joe Makowiec who found the information. I
just asked for it.

URL = super large version where you can zoom in and pan around of the
following image.
if you can zoom in on the link, you can see the lightning behind the
building under construction. kinda cool.

(i seem to be having a problem making this a displayable image.
sorry!)

positive critiques welcome.

Looks really cool. You have got pretty much perfect foreground for your
lightning shot.
