Last night insomnia proved to be productive. As I was laying in bed I started to see flashes of lightning coming from west of Detroit. at about 230am the storm got within shooting distance so I got my camera out and started firing away..enjoy!

Brandon, excuse me ,as you already know Im ignorant at this photo stuff. How did you capture the lightening? Was this manual or auto? Im reading up on this stuff :wallbash: . Thinking it,s going to be my new passion hobby. I,ll pic yer brain via pm after this.

thanks again everyone! Brian, the way I shoot lightning is basically the same way I shoot a time lapse. I manually set the exposure, then I take one exposure after the other hoping to capture some lightning. Each exposure is anywhere from 2-30 seconds.

 

Hellfish, the 800 ISO was just what I was trying that night. I'm still new to lightning photography and was merely experimenting. Next time will be smaller ISO with a longer exposure.
