1. Left click on photo. 2. Right click on the photo, left click on 'Save picture as'. Save picture to your computer and upload as usual.
There's probably a better way, but this works for me
Right click on the photo select Properties, at the very top of the general tab is a 5-digit number. Corresponds to the uploaded "value" assigned the pic.
include the html tag necessary which is ctImg in those square brackets, followed by the 5 digit number followed by /ctImg in square brackets again.
Saves uploading the same image twice. I'll do this sometimes for TR's I'm writing. Upload all the pics first, write down the "number" assigned to each pic. and than just cut/paste the code into the word document I'm working with.
That's how this image got included....

I've also seen this before. I think it has something to do with the fact that many of the CCD's in digital cameras are sensitive to infrared light. So, it's like you're getting the heat that's radiating off of the coals.
This looks like a typical lens flare to me.
And yes, CCDs are sensitive to IR, they almost always have a filter in front to cut off the IR part of spectrum. One camera that supposedly doesn't - the new Canon 20D 'Japanese edition for astronomical purposes'.
Thanks,

Hey, Marc, thanks for sharing this method of yours. I'd never heard of it before.

The lightning photos were taken with film. I used f16 to f22 and held the shutter open for five minutes or until a lightning strike, whichever comes first. These pics are five years old and it's been that long since a good storm.
Not sure how to do it with digital. If it would be different.
Long exposure star photos can not be taken with digital. The "brains" in the camera register the stars as noise and just throws out the info. Only the brightest stars show up as fuzzy blobs. This is one advantage film over digital. Sometimes being stupid is a good thing.

Put your camera on the shortest focal length you can (wide angle). Put the apperture to something high and set the cam to the longest exposure time you can. Hope that there is lightning during the exposure period :-)
Since the flashes are so bright, you can just extremely underexpose the picture

...
If you are out of the city, don't have to worry about light pollution and the lightning is the only light source, this works well.
With the city and lights, you'll over expose the film within a matter of minutes if the aperature is wide open, f2.8-4.0
Personally this is why I cut the opening down to f16. Cut down the noise and leave more time to catch the lightning.
Lightning is a lot, lot brighter than we think it is. The film will catch even the smallest little trailings that you never saw from the main bolt.

Fireworks is always fun to shoot as well.
I like using 100ASA, f8-10, the shutter set to bulb and I hold it open for as long or short amount of time with a cable release.
To get more colour and less flash, I close the aperature a bit more. With f3.5 too much light comes in and the effect balnches out, leaving yellow and white fireworks instead of intended colour.
This is from the Symphony of Fire: Spain
   
New Years fireworks can be seen here:

Q when you hit the quote button it should show the "ctImg]39531[/ctImg" like this (I removed the outside brackets to show the text. Then when you post or preview you should be able to see the picture in question. |

| Thanks Nomad for the input. I'll have to pull the SLR back out of the closet. I really like that first firework picture. |
