It was a pretty long lightning storm. Could have gotten some cool colored clouds but didn't have my camera with me in time! When will I ever learn... didn't take many photos since I had someone with me at the time...


1. Tried it with a wide angle to see what it looked like :D


2.


3. Think I liked the non-wide angle since you get more detail in the shot this way


4. Clouds doing funny things

Really nice, the 1st and 2nd are my favorite. I wish I could take lightning shots, but I never seem to get the timing right.

I was wondering the same thing... I really couldn't tell you. The sun was completely down...

It isn't as hard as it looks. Try a low ISO with a looong shutter speed, like 30 seconds and see how it goes ;)

Thanks everyone for the comments!

I've been wanting to get one recently... Weather hasn't been too cooperative... I want this specific water tower as the main subject of the shot, with lightning behind it... I've had this shot in mind for like a month now...

Oh nice - that would be hard to get since lightning isn't always in the same spot!
