Ben (10) and I went out for a little storm spotter drive tonight. Actually we drove to a nearby hilltop and took a few photos of lightning one county to our south. The photo is nothing special but it was the first photo of the night and it had a bolt in it. (I only shot three images before it started raining, 2 of the 3 had lightning in them.)

It was kind of an interesting shake down trip.

The GPS + D700 are configured for APRS
The APRS configuration is now posting my info to Spotternetwork.org
My iPad2 is wifi tethered to my DroidX phone
Radarscope is setup on my iPad and it can talk to the spotter network
Ben learned how to use my iPad
We are able to get good radar info on the iPad in the field
We found a nice location to shoot lightning photos that has a good view looking to the NW-W-SW about 12 minutes away from the house

Overall it was a pretty nice spring evening.
