Jonathon,

Excellent! A number of your pictures do indeed show the "haze" of
streamers and others also show small leaders issuing from the grounded
object. Fog4, Fog5, and Fog7 are very nice shots showing arrested
leaders grading into the streamer zone while Fog6 and Fog8 appear to
show arrested leaders rising from the grounded object. Fog1 seems to
show a much longer branched leader coming from the grounded terminal. Do
you have any description of the setup you used in these shots? 

Thanks again,
