OMG Mythbusters...
They shoot it out of cannons of various sizes.
They build rigs to do high speed, low speed or power tests.
They risk injury and even "death", Adam gets hurt LOTs.
But I never ever thought to see one of them INSIDE a giant Tesla coil while it was turned on and directing the lightning bolt
So cool to see.

Oooh, I like my new camera.
Long story short...
On our last day, at the last place we visited in Yellowstone,
I fell and my Nikon D70 took a nose dive and stopped working.
So at Best Buy, on a 24 months, no interest, plan,
I purchased a Nikon D300.
I've spent the last couple of weeks learning what it can do.
Here is one of the first shots I took that really shows off it's low light capability:

A little stage wash, but mostly the music stand light only.

Other then then cropping it down a bit, I've done no post processing

Everything old is new again...
Even Kid rock is using the music of Werewolves of London for a song.
