[LargeFormat] Why Large Format?

[Pete Caluori]

Greetings,

No, not yet.  The 14,000' lightning attempt, produced some nice stom clouds, 
but no lightning.  It was indeed lightning, but I was too chicken to stick 
around much longer than the few failed attempts.  14,000 feet with a metal 
camera and carbon fiber tripod are no place to be when a storm is 
approaching.  I only tried it, because I knew I could get down very quickly 
and took the chance, I doubt I would do it again.

Snow's a lot easier, especially if it's very cold.  The colder the better, 
because it wont melt and is very easy to blow off the bellows.

Regards,  Pete
