Lightning strike yesterday evening...

Sorry for the little wobble - I still can't figure out how to use that
stabilization thing - I know, I'm a putz.

Any idea what it was hitting? Looked like it must have been very attractive
to the lightening.

Old communications tower about a 1/2 mile West of me across the lake.

There is bound to be an amount of movement beyond which stabilization will
have no effect. Being caught in gusts of wind may just be more than
stabilization can handle.

Actually, I figured it out this morning.

Of course reading the manual helped. :)

What model camera did you get? Better yet, just post a URL to a site.

Canon Vixia HV20

Cool. Thanks.
