Light Speed

Travelling at speeds up to 220km/h, transferring an enormous amount one terawatt (12 zeros) of power and 30k of Ampere.. an eletric discharge which could be one of mother nature's most powerful energy source, well if it can strike the same point over and over again, the energy produced might can stored up for a good use..

Most ppl when they were just a kid, lightning could be in one of their top ten most fear-able stuff list. But it's actually the sound of thunder that scared majority.. when i was a kid i was told that lightning will strike on bad boys if they don't go to sleep when told.. which was me. Everytime i heard sound of thunder i would be so freaked out that i might get hit and die! (the truth is i fear of death) That lie went on for period until my sister told me one thing. Light travel faster than sound, which you can only heard thunder after lightning strikes, and its the lightning that kills you. That time i come to realize i would be dead before i heard the thunder sounds, then what do i have to fear? I should have instead fear the lightning but it will be too late for that to happen. LOL

Proceeding about technical stuff..

This photo was captured by Canon Powershot SX130 IS which is just an average digital camera but with CHDK ( Canon Hack Development Kit) which includes a motion detection script for high speed activation by detecting the change of RGVvalues between frames when the leader strikes hit, and capture the rest.. even the glowing of the sky will make the camera make's it catch..

Iso set to 80 with F-stop of 3.4 and exposure time of 1.3 seconds was set to capture this photo
