afishyfish 4 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 I have very little idea of the technical side of photography, Im a point n shhot person Im always intrigued at how you guys get these shots, it's sureley not just a case of standing around with your finger on the button waiting, for the right moment while pointed in the right direction ? :pinch: :whistle: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
samrota 1 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 For my lightning photos, i just set the shutter speed to lowest setting (around 5secs on mine) . And take random shots in the direction of said lightning. Took at least 50 shots (if not more) to get that ONE.Missed so many better shots by milliseconds.Cheers.Sam rocknev and afishyfish 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Astroman 0 Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 I saw that pic Sam on channel 10 and commented on facebook to a few friends that it was a great shot Pleasure to meet the photographer Thanks guys for all your replies.For my shot it was a 15second exposure, I use an intervalometer and set the camera up to continuously take a shot after each exposure is finished. I set the lens to infinity, and had the F-stop at f6.3. I also watch the storms to see where the greater number of strikes are and tend to go for that. Sometimes difficult with the storms moving away from you, but when they are headed straight for you, it's easy to do afishyfish and rocknev 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Astroman 0 Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Heads up there are going to be more storms heading this way (Adelaide)... hope they dont collapse though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
