On Friday, another thunderstorm hit our region. My son and his friend again took some pictures. This time, most of lightning flashes were too rapid for their cameras, and they took only a few photos. Lack of sensitivity exhibited in previous test for my device was not the limiting factor this time...
Here is the only picture my son was able to take:
This time, camera settings show in a better way that the picture was taken during the day: 1/125, f/8.0, 100 ISO. Place: near Tourtour, south-east of France.
11-May-2018 - Update: some time ago, I decided to build and test a new version of the trigger, adding an op-amp in order to increase sensitivity. Check this article.
