I have around 15 mins max recording from the thunderstorm, although not from one single continuous video recording. i have recordings from other windows around the house. (i said around 30 mins, but hadn’t actually roughly added up the total duration of all the footage, and i also have 120 useless images showing nothing interesting, which i took simply by pressing the shutter button continuously until i got bored. i then hit on the idea of recording the storm by video).
When i recorded the bit in question, i wasn’t holding the camera perfectly steady, because i find it had to do so, and my hand was resting against the window frame – which wasn’t very comfortable. as i was recording i thought i saw something red around the area of the tree.
When i viewed the footage on the pc later on, it simply confirmed what i thought i had seen.
To try and show that it was not through a closed window, my window has ‘Tudor style lead lattice work’ across it, and if the window was closed, the picture below shows roughly what i would have got – complete with horse.
When i have broadband, i will upload the recordings somewhere, complete with sound, and I’ll post when i have on there.
