Here are two very close and loud thunder strikes from a storm on September 4, 2013. Recorded on my front deck with a Sennheiser MKH8040 ORTF microphone rig. It was very windy so I used a little RX2 to clean up the wind. Some light rain was falling also. Enjoy! -Frank

Small cracks and pops can be heard from a small campfire that was dying down from about 20 feet away.

The Frog Pond Recordings

I recently bumped into a friend of mine from the area and the first thing he said to me was "I was just thinking about you the other day, I have these frogs in my pond that make one hell of a racket at night. You should come record them" By the way, this happens to me quite a bit when I meet friends at social events or just hang out. They always let me know if they have heard something interesting that I might want to record, lucky me!
