Ain't that what TEST days are for Ian?

I shoot in both Andy. Nikon has an option for that. Use the jpegs to have a quick look at etc and then if there's one I really like I use the raw file to lob in to photoshop to tinker with if I want. Tbh though I just use the jpegs 99% of the time as I can't be arsed!

Were some nice naders last night!

1. Broken Bow 2. Climax 3. Scottsbluff Quite tough actually to chose those 3! The Limon and Seymour ones were absolute beasts! I remember us getting chased quite hard by that Seymour one lol!

She was a beauty!

Ah that sounds a bit swish Gail! I actually took loads on my phone last year, probably more than with the SLR

Yep it would Tom! Advantages to both I guess. With the trigger you should never miss a shot (though to me this is cheating somewhat lol!) and with the manual remote you can keep the shutter open when it's raining down bolts. I guess you can stack images too to get the same effect. I can't say I'd fancy carrying around another camera body with a 300mm lens on it myself, Gail. Mind you, I will be behind the wheel so having just one camera in hand will be hard enough! Ian got some cracking shots with the compact camera he was trying to promote last year (samsung??) With today's compacts I'm sure you can probably get access to every manual setting under the sun

Oh and all you new camera owners don't forget to buy a remote for the lightning shots at night! These are for the 3200 but do fit quite a range of nikons Basic one here - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Remote-Shutter-Release-Cord-Control-Cable-for-Nikon-MC-DC2-D3200-D90-UK-/141049185780 Or a bit more advanced - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Time-Lapse-Intervalometer-Remote-Timer-Shutter-for-Nikon-D3100-D3200-D90-D600-UK-/221331284688

Hi Ben For what it's worth I use a 17-70 sigma lens for 90% of my shots out there and the rest with a 11-16 wide angle lens on my D5000. I have tried the longer lens I have but found it a waste of time. Changing a lens in a frantic rush while a tornado is on the ground and possibly missing it is enough for me not to stick it in the bag! IF you have more than one camera body though, you could always leave it attached You can probably pick that lens up cheaper on ebay too. See you out there!!!!!!

Another bump for this as it's just 2 weeks away! Looking forward to it folks!

The annual get together of like minded weather geeks! Plenty of food, loads of drink and also plenty of storm porn! This year it's in that GREAT country called WALES :pThere's plenty of room for camping in the garden and we also have loads of space in the house. So bring a sleeping bag and we'll find room for you :DOur post code is SY24 5HJ. Local train stations are Aberystwyth and Machynlleth and there are buses that drop off in Talybont. I'll be doing a few pick ups I would imagine though so can give anyone a lift as long as there's room Euston to Machynlleth is around the 4 hours mark.You don't have to have been on a storm chase to come either. These BBQ's are a great way of just meeting up with other weather enthusiasts, and who knows at the end of the night you may well want to come on a chase next year!Any questions just ask, and hopefully we'll see y'all in a few weeks!

Before and after.. With a little help from Ian

Here's an unedited video of the tornado. There are a couple of excited swearies on it just in case for the young ears!
