jackblack86 5 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Like the last one, looks like it was taken from hummocks? What settings did you use to catch the lightning. Tried to get some pics of storms when I was in Bangkok (when thy had all th flooding) but failed dismally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rocknev 2 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 camera is a canon eos1000d. digital slr.. i use wide angle lens, set on manual, with F5.6 shutter, and time exposure of 20 - 30 second... white balance is set on fluroescent, thats what gives it the blue hue. tripod is a must, and i use a remote trigger..more luck than anything.. try to predict where the lightning will happen next, hit the button and wait for it to time out.. if multible strikes in the time set, it will capture them all.. prob took close to 100 photos..to capture a few pics.. but i find it good fun.. good luck mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
