Guest bowhunter56 Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 WOW, Those are excellent pictures, especially the first one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billkay Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 The pix were shot at about 2am. The camera was set to manual with a 30 second exposure and an aperture of f4.0-6.3. For these, I believe they were all at f6.3 The aperture is adjusted based on how much cloud lightning there is. The more there is, the smaller the apperture. Trial and error to some extent. I used a 14mm, 2.8 lens for the pix. ISO was set at 400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Thank you sir. Now I just have to wait for a lightning storm to try that out.... At the current rate of storms in the area I could be in for a LONG wait...:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest outdoorgirl Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Great pictures.....you take nice pictures...that was some storm that rolled threw your neck of the woods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Nice pics Bill! The second one is cool. Most lightning, the stroke comes from the ground up, so the scientists say. But you got one coming from the sky down! Pretty cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
