Lightening last night

BusinessForums · 2010-11-27 11:15:00

Hi guys, Did anybody manage to get any snaps of the lightning last night? I tried a couple of times but they timing wasn't good enough. Wasn't sure what settings to use also? Anybody have any tips for the future?

Tripod, shutter release cable - leave the shutter open for a few seconds and hope you get some lightning in the frame during those few seconds.

Repeat repeat repeat.

I was going to have a go at it but it was too cold to get up! Shame because at one point the lightning was right above my house, sounded like a bomb going off.
