Recordist's notes

An unexpected thunder storm. I had to hurry to place the equipment in a protected spot to record this event. The strange acoustic image is caused by the shelter over the mics and the Malvern Hills not far in front. The traffic is on a busy road close by. MixPre 6 II with 2 Sennheiser MKH 8020s.
