thunder and lightning
 

Well you cant shoot thunder but I did capture some lightning during a storm earlier this month. I have no clue how to photograph such awesomeness so any tips would be appreciated. Feel free to post up your examples as well. :cool:

That's actually pretty good bro! What was your technique?

No real technique. Just set the shutter anywhere from 15-30 seconds, aim, fire, and pray for a lightning strike. I missed out on a lot of strikes when the camera was busy processing or the action was out of frame.

That's what I was always told. Set it to around 10-30 depending on ambient light. And pray for a strike.

Some people use two cameras to cover the processing time.

Nice work.

good shit lenster

dam that is nice, may I ask what camera. I've always wondered how people was able to photograph that type of stuff, i always thought it was cool.

appreciate the compliments :cool:

J, I was using a Nikon D70 with a 70-300. The first shot I might of been using the 18-50 with the screen door closed. :doh: :lmao:

great pictures len!


if you dont mind me asking, what are those two red dots in the sky in the last two pictures? dust?

Looks like lens flare.
