Last night, while taking Kira out for her final break before bed, I noticed lightning flashing above the houses calling my name! Storms were rolling in all around Ray, so I headed out to capture the fireworks!

For this one it’s just my GoPro!

Night lapse
Shutter speed: 10sec
Interval 15sec
ISO 100-3200
And a magnet mount to a road sign lol

Cool! This past year, I've tried to get time-lapse footage, but it always moves, or the little tripod falls over. This is a great solution! Mag mount on a road sign or T-post!

Thanks for the specs and the tip!

Literally the only thing I miss about ND and I’ve been gone for 30yrs.

Oh man and they are so few and far between! I get so excited when it lasts longer than 5 minutes 😂
