Some lightning I captured less than an hour ago at 120fps (in HD as well)

Amazing how that's the same stuff that powers our electronics and lasers. Almost looked like a tree made of lightning

Nice video ped, you can actually see the lightning starting at the ground level, and going up to the clouds! :beer:

do you think a Lasorb would still protect a diode under that?

Lightning actually lasts a pretty long time, usually 60-120ms or so.

A single "bolt" of lightning is actually made up of several strikes all taking place withing milliseconds of each other.

If you had access to one of those super-slow cameras you would be able to see the multiple strikes :)
