--It's "intervalometer" -- it takes pictures at set intervals...I think I spelled that wrong.I use the TC-80N3. Expensive,
but works great.

--Hi All,
I went down to my Dad's this weekend. He lives near Austin, TX (30
minutes away). When I got to his place at 9:00 pm, I noticed on
the radar that there were a bunch of thunderstorms headed right
towards Austin. I waved hi to my Dad, dropped off my wife so she
could hit the sack, and headed to Austin. When I got there, I went
to my favorite spot to shoot the skyline. There was tons of
lightning, but it was all behind the clouds. Here's a few of my
better shots (All were shot with my 10D and 20mm lens or 28-135
lens.):

After a bit at one spot, I moved to another spot. I ran into
another photographer who was shooting lightning too!
good conversation for 15 minutes or so, and he gave me his card
(he's a professional who shoots for the UT sports department).
The storm had moved through Austin at this point, so I started
following it East back towards my Dad's. I knew of a neat Church
on the way in a little town called Elgin, so I stopped there:
I next headed towards a cool spot with a graveyard and watertower
in the background. I was worried about getting in trouble with the
police at this point, as it was around 2 am in the morning. One
did drive by (those are his headlights in the pic), but he didn't
stop:
My final stop of the night came as the storm flared up for around
10 minutes. I finally found a somewhat interesting place to stop
and shoot this:
I then headed home and went to bed, as all of the activity had
stopped. Wheh! Long day. ;-)
The next evening, there were similar coniditions, so I headed to
Austin right after dinner. There ended up being no storms, but I
did get a couple of good shots near sunset:
So, that was my weekend. How was yours?

Its the one on the left and should have neon (I think) along the top of each "level". Or at least I think it is supposed to - I've not seen it lit in a long time.--
I wonder when it went out? Here's a pic from 2002 where it's lit:
--I noticed that one of the buildings next to town lake is no longer
lit
along the top of each "level". Or at least I think it is
supposed to - I've not seen it lit in a long time.
Beautiful location btw, I'm going to have to go take soime shots
from there!

--Hi Chris,
You're right. I hadn't even noticed that.
went out? Here's a pic from 2002 where it's lit:
And here's one from the end of last year when it's lit:
It's definately a nice place to shoot. Biggest problem I have is
the breadwater that gets in the pictures.
