Thanks for the comments. I was using an Olympus Camedia C-4000 zoom. I 
think it is a great camera, 4.0 megapixel, no special lenses to attach, you 
could most likely do the same with any camera as long as you can do 10 
second or so exposures. I only did 10 seconds, and just kept clicking. =D 
It is extremely important to have a digital camera, as all those pictures 
where nothing happened can be deleted instead of waisting film. Plus, with 
a larger memory card, you don't have to worry about taking the time to 
change them. I've noticed that a storm will send down the best lightning 
strikes when you are occupied with something. >=P This camera has done well 
before, I am not sure if I ever posted this picture to the tesla list:

I hope you will try it out, it is the coolest thing to get that one lucky 
strike...

You have some nice pictures there Chris. I am keeping four of them for my
desktop background. What kind of camara were you using?
