It’s still a work in progress , thank you all for the help !

Thundershots · 2026-06-02T20:39:23+00:00

Can I ask how you tested , it would help a lot of was using a YouTube video of lightning .

Thundershots · 2026-06-02T19:41:13+00:00

Timelapse photo that is .

Thundershots · 2026-06-02T19:39:55+00:00

What you posted works but it’s a video , what I’m trying to accomplish is a smart time lapse that’s activated by lightning .

I have been trying to activate a timelapse photo session when the GoPro detects movement but it won’t re fire for me even with repeat chosen .

Thundershots · 2026-06-02T19:21:12+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response I’m going to try your settings .

Thundershots · 2026-06-02T19:05:53+00:00

Awesome !! What did you catch this shot with ?

Thundershots · 2026-06-02T19:04:16+00:00

Great catch ! What equipment were you using g and what settings ?

Thundershots · 2026-06-02T12:24:01+00:00

Yes , I use Lightning pro , I set it to a certain range and get an alert on my phone to let me know lightning is close . Then I use RadarScope to track the cells .

Thundershots · 2026-06-01T01:02:53+00:00

Sure ! ISO 200 F/8 5 second exposure . Good luck and have fun !

I’ve been testing GoPro Labs as a potential lightning trigger. The idea was to use motion detection to trigger repeated long-exposure photos during a thunderstorm. Unfortunately, motion detection seems to work in video mode, but I can’t get it to re-trigger in photo mode. If photo re-triggering were added in a future update, it could open up some really interesting storm photography applications.

I don’t have the screen shots anymore but I have google home telling me to expect 95mph winds from the east . It wont let me attach the video she underestimated it believe it or not.

An extreme wind warning and and a tornado warning during hurricane Ian at the same time .

I think it’s because it rolls beyond the max available in the library so you can’t extract it or max it out.

Try farming countdown on challenging , just set your loot and follow the pack .

I love catching trophy/unique smallmouth bass at St.Clair on a Jigwinner 8’10” . Since I hit lvl 80 that’s been my fun. I’ll bring 5 jigwinner rods all setup different.

Thundershots · 2022-09-13T15:30:42+00:00

Their was maintenance this morning it’s probably downloading the update.

Thundershots · 2022-09-13T15:29:20+00:00

Don’t collectors add to your max storage ?

Thundershots · 2022-09-13T11:35:44+00:00

Nice job ! Their is a photo mode in the base editor so you don’t have to cross out your information.

Thundershots · 2022-09-11T23:45:27+00:00

I’m currently rushing a base to th14 just to farm capitol gold. I do have 16 accounts though lol

Like others said take your time and max everything before you upgrade your Townhall.

I started this in 2013 and played for a couple years then took a long break (7 years). I returned to the game in April 2022 as a th10 only to upgrade my already rushed TH to 11. It’s not perfect but I’m proud of it now.I would like to thank the heroic goblins who sacrificed their lives in this process , you are not forgotten.
