Flint, really. With a strong telephoto I could probably see you waiving. Or we could let each other know when the rain's coming across the estuary! Thanks I might, particularly if I ever decide to get more interested in those distant fuzzy blobs called birds. Well that's how I manage to capture them, you on the other hand, look pretty good at it.
I’ve got the scope as well .. I have a variety of lenses to suit most scenarios but don’t use them enough ..

Depending on your glass you are taking a EM1X is now good value used or new my reference to the glass you are taking depends if you prefer grips with longer lenses for me the EM1X with either my 300mm or 150-400 feels very well balanced Mark 3 EM1 also good value at present
Rental?
Thats a pretty good effort all things considered B
If it's only a backup wouldn't t be better to go for an EM1iii than an EM1x? I'm thinking less space and weight - if luggage space is at a premium.
Thanks. I was pleased to get one shot that worked - well the lightning was sharp and in frame! You have to set it to B on the menu dial by the way. On the EM1ii you just had to dial the time right down, if I remember rightly.Thats a pretty good effort all things considered B
I don’t worry at all about the rain and my camera. I’ve shot in heavy downpours, but I’m afraid I’m not brave enough to venture outside when there is such a storm - especially when you need to use a tripod. The lightning was close! I know a strike on a closed metal shell like a car won’t affect me. Sadly heavy rain at this moment too. I did try and use wipers.
though I had looked it up when I first got it.
.... You are more sensible than I am! I would have forgotten about tripod lightning conducter!! The head is metal even though the legs are carbon, so it could still potentially act as a conducter.I don’t worry at all about the rain and my camera.

Annoyingly a car next to me sat there with his headlights full on for most of the storm. This was after he’d gone. I used Live Composite.
There’s definitely room for improvement. The composition is a bit rubbish. I was expecting to get shots over the sea and here there was a hedge in front of me. I’ve waited years for such a storm after my last attempt and I almost missed my opportunity through not knowing how to use my camera
That's a wonderful capture!
I looked it up recently so I knew but I must have blinked because I've already forgotten how to use it. The trouble with these cameras is they do so much it's impossible to recall all but the most used features.
You did better than me to remember and captured that well. Honestly I was stumped!
I'd set the interval and just couldn't find the 'make this happen' button 
That made me chuckle - yes best not to blink!
Thanks. It was dramatic. Yes hopefully some later today. I suppose I should drive to a location in the hope of getting a better composition. I do have an app that tells me there is some coming, but of course it's all a bit of a punt.A nice dramatic image, the power of nature at its most 'electric'
PS the Met Office says more thunderstorm(s) due tonight 7pm to 3am in South East to East Anglia.....including the IoW......enjoy and take care
My OM-1 and battery with charger is on its way and the MKIII is now sold to a friend so im just in that anxious mode waiting.
WoOt !!My OM-1 and battery with charger is on its way and the MKIII is now sold to a friend so im just in that anxious mode waiting.
How exciting. Can I ask who you ordered from? I am awaiting an email from Wex.My OM-1 and battery with charger is on its way and the MKIII is now sold to a friend so im just in that anxious mode waiting.
I could have waited. Oh well...
Yeah I got it from E-infinity. £1919.00 delivered and the battery and charger from Park Cameras. I have used E-infinity for a lot of my gear over the years and registered bought items with Olympus so dont have a problem using them. The OM-1 has since gone up to £1939.00. It is annoying that I had one on order from LCE for £1999 back in late Feb but they couldnt get them or any info as to when they could fulfill the order so just cancelled my pre-order with them back along and got the mk3 so to have a camera to use for trip I had booked. before I cancelled they said I could be waiting till July so that made me get my £800 back and look elsewhere.How exciting. Can I ask who you ordered from? I am awaiting an email from Wex.
What is really annoying is that I sold a Canon camera and the trade in price has gone up by almost £500 compared to when I sold mine
