photograph lightning

With my cameraphone. Would’ve done better with more equipment, but it was fun just trying :-)

The trick is to wait until a storm with very frequent lightning passes over your town/city, and use a ‘fireworks’ setting on your camera, or if that isn’t available, manually adjust your shutter speed slower to 4”.
(Just a note, the link to my website on the watermark isn’t working yet, I’m still editing my website.)

-you have to be patient and lucky. It’s so awesome when you get the shot. And the pictures show so much more than your eye sees, it’s amazing. I’ll keep doing this one.

this is hard but rewarding.

a. pick a good location where you can see the big open sky and also possibly a nice foreground item, like a building
b. watch for storms
