  •  Comment This is no sorcery. You must be patient. Then patient. And a bit weather proof. Then again patient. And you need a tripod. And a cable release, and a camera, that supports full manual control. And everytime, when you close the shutter, you need to be patient again, as the dark frame substraction needs again 60 seconds (same as the real exposure time), before you can take the next shot. And I grant you: Exactly in these 60 seconds at minimum 10 much better flashes will happen. Then you need some chocolate to calm down. And never point the camera to a different direction. If you turn right, the next gigantic flash will come down to the left and vice versa :-) -- smial (talk) 01:00, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
